Update, June 11: Payday 3 was officially unveiled at the Xbox Games Showcase with a flashy trailer showing the first look at gamepla📖y.

The game is set to launch on September 21, 2023, and will be available on Xbox🍎 ꧑Game Pass on day one.

Original story follows...

A new leak suggests that after more than seven years of waiting, the Payday 3 release date wi♍ll finally arrive on September 21, ꦜ2023.

That's according to , a Twitter account with a reliable track record of leaks based on back-end data on the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft Store. September 21 could be a placeholder date, but it's looking likely that Payday 3 will finally be out in just a few months' time. The account suggests that June 11 could be the date of the official announcement, which would line up with the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox Games Showcase 2023.

Developer Starbreeze had already 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:been teasing🎃 big things for patient Payday ꦡ3 fans, promising a gameplay reveal in the summer. Between the Xbox show on June 11 and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Summer Game Fest 2023 on June 8, we're l🐬ikely to see that reveal very soo🐷n.

Starbreeze announced that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Payday 3 was in development way back on May 30, 2016, and September 21 will mark a whopping 2,670 days between announcement and launc🐼h. That's not the longest record ever - Duke Nukem Fo✨rever exists, after all - but suffice to say that Payday fans have been waiting a long, long time for this follow-up.

It's been a worrisome wait, too, with legal and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:financial troubles at Starbreeze leaving the future of the company - much less the game - seeming uncertain. But after Starbreeze secured fun🌃ding for Payday 3 back in 2021 it committed𝔍 to releasing the gameꦕ in 2023, and it seems the studio is very keen to meet that commitment.

The 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:E3 2023 schedule continues rolls on, even without a proper E3 to hold it all.
