E3 season is a wonderful time for just about anyone in the gaming world. TheE3 festivitiestook a slight break last year due to the Covid-19 pandemic, but now they’re back in full force and with all-new, digital formats. Companies from all across the industry are making their names heard this year with huge reveals, and Koch Media has announced a slew of new things to get gamers excited. Perhaps one of the most thrilling is the fact that the next installment in thePaydayfranchise,Payday 3, is in early development.

ThePaydayfranchise is known for its frenetic, FPS gameplay that allows players to live out a lavish life of crime. The games are known for their particularly silly nature at times, especially withPayday 2recently introducing a comically large spoon to the game, so they’re perfect for gamers that are just looking for some fun. Game Rant attended a Koch Media pre-show that included some information onPayday 3, and what players can expect when it releases.
