Payday 3 Official Ice T Trailer | GAMESCOM 2023
75Ice-T is playing a "bigger role" than expected in Payday 3
We'll find out in Payday 3 why the original crew are back together again after going their separate ways following the "conclusion" of Payday 2.
In an unexpected twist during the Gamescom Opening Night Live showcase, the iconic rapper and Law & Order: SVU star, Ice-T, made a surprise announcement that left gamers excited for what's coming. This September, when Starbreeze drops Payday 3 drops, players will be able to execute a special heist mission crafted alongside none other than Ice-T himself.
"I've hooked up with my favorite game in the world, Payday, and I have my own special heist mission in Payday 3," Ice-T confidently stated, hinting at his familiarity with heists, albeit humorously suggesting from a real-life perspective.
What's particularly intriguing about this mission is its setting: a shipyard that's near Port Jersey, located in Bayonne, New Jersey. Both the heist's location and the real-life city it mirrors promise to offer a touch of authenticity, making it a treat especially for players acquainted with the locale.
As the mission's trailer reveals, players will have their hands full navigating through a series of complex challenges. The objective? Extract valuable cargo from a container and ensure its safe transport, all within a tight timeframe. But this is no ordinary snatch-and-grab mission. Players will need to utilize stealth tactics, cleverly avoiding guards and using the expansive shipyard's ziplines to maneuver around. However, it won't be all smooth sailing. With the inevitable descent into chaos marked by massive explosions and intense firefights, players will need to think on their feet. The task ahead involves a perfect balance: a slow, stealthy approach followed by a hasty, explosive exit.
This exciting development in Payday 3 is further heightened by the introduction of a new character, Mac, a new contact described by Starbreeze as someone who points players in the direction of highly valuable quantum processors, being routed through the Roger Wilson Shipping Company.
It's not entirely clear how central Ice-T's role will be in this mission. Will he simply narrate the proceedings, or will he be part of a heist or two? All of that remains under wraps, increasing the anticipation for the mission's release.
One of the interesting backstories for Payday aficionados is how the story arc from Payday 2 will flow into this game. It was after the audacious White House heist from the previous game where the gang stole their presidential pardons that they decided to hang their boots. With over 20 members retiring and parting ways, it seemed the end of an era. But, in the world of crime, old habits die hard. The inclusion of Mac, portrayed by Ice-T, brings them to New York for fresh challenges and, undoubtedly, thrilling heists, as revealed in an interview with IGN.
However, as exciting as this announcement is, some long-time fans of the series have voiced concerns over the always-online requirement, as discovered during the closed beta phase. Yet, with the series' reputation and the new features being introduced, many are hopeful that Payday 3 will live up to the hype and possibly surpass it.
So, whether you're a fan of Ice-T, a lover of heist missions, or just someone eagerly waiting for the next big thing, mark your calendar for September 21.
