Payday 3 Confirmed
Back in 2015, there was a strike of the team of Steam moderators for Payday 2 regarding its controversial microtransaction system despite previous assurance from developer Overkill Studios of never using them. The issue was later sorted when the studio arranged random drops of those items for concurrent Payday 2 players because it gave birth to a small outrage against Overkill. They even tried to justify their action by explaining that the earning will help them support the multiplayer of the game until 2017.
Most recently, Swedish publisher Starbreeze Studios have fully gotten their hands on the rights of Payday game franchise after paying up a good $30 million for it. With that, the game is finally done with the crappy in-game microtransaction system for the foreseeable future. As part of the announcement, Starbreeze also confirmed working on Payday 3 already, which was a great news for this popular crime game series.

Now, watch Almir Listo, producer of Payday 2, talks to the fans about the game's past, present state and future plans from Overkill Studios on the occasion of the release of Update 100!
With new hands behind the wheels, Overkill Studios have also stated that they intend to continue support for Payday 2 by releasing new contents for at least the upcoming 18 months. The time may expand a bit more but that entirely depends on the players and how this decisions turns out to be.

Aside from the announcement for their support for the game and all that, Almir Listo also dropped a cinematic teaser for E3, when more will be revealed about it.
Starbreeze Studios now has the complete rights to this popular heist adventure franchise of Payday and the development of any upcoming sequels in the future and marketing of it. This also includes mobile versions of Payday and Payday 2. Effective from May 1, Starbreeze will collect full revenue for Payday 2 on Steam.
For console versions of the game, they will split the profits with the original publisher of Payday 2, 505 Games just as before. Plus, a 33 percent revenue share from the future sales of Payday 3 will be received by 505 Games excluding all the development and marketing costs when it eventually comes out in the market and this is the extent of details we currently know about the sequel so far. We don't even have an approximate release date to begin with but we can only hope that we will get one very soon.
Cooperative first-person shooting game Payday 2 was released back in 2013 by Overkill Studios for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. A Crimewave Edition of the game with over 30 different DLC packages was released only for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles at later time. In term of frequently released updates for a game even long after its release, Overkill has set a new high with Payday 2.
