Starbreeze and Deep Silver have announced a pair of new heisters that will ship with PAYDAY 3 when it is released on September 21st. Joy is a character known to longtime series fans as a support character. Pearl is an all-new heister and will be available at launch.
Developers have released a new trailer to show each character in action and provide fans with a peek at their abilities and gameplay.
Developers provided a bit of background about each character:
- Pearl is an expert con artist and infiltrator who is as comfortable running scams on the street as she is rubbing elbows with the rich and famous. She leaves nothing to chance, and it’s a rare occasion when things don’t go her way. Make no mistake though, she plans for every contingency, even the rare occasions where she has to pull out her own weapons.
- Joy is a genius hacker and security expert who is now an official part of the crew. As a merciless heister, Joy is a dangerous combination of strength and subterfuge. With no respect for the law and a twisted sense of humor, Joy is a wildcard character who ends up being an ace during any heist.
In addition to the new characters, developers also revealed the game’s post-launch plans. These include new sets and a pair of new scenarios.
- DLC 1 – Syntax Error set for Winter 2023
- DLC 2 – Boys in Blue is set to release in Spring 2024
- DLC 3 – The Land of the Free will release in Summer 2024
- DLC 4 – Fear and Greed set for Fall 2024
