Ulf Andersson was a designer on each Payday video games earlier than changing into CEO and artistic director of 10 Chambers, so he is aware of a number of issues about co-operative heists. Although 10 Chambers continued the co-op theme with hardcore horror shooter GTFO, which hit model 1.0 in December, GTFO did not have the identical “Robert De Niro tries to orchestrate the right crime and all of it goes flawed” vibe because the Payday video games. 10 Chambers’ subsequent launch seems like it can.
In an interview with NME (opens in new tab), Andersson described the studio’s upcoming sport by saying, “I am again on the heist shit, mainly—so it is a heist cooperative FPS, and it has a kind of a techno-thriller theme. I learn a whole lot of sci-fi books, and so think about every thing that cyberpunk is impressed by, and a ton of different shit.”
Not like the Payday video games, which have been outlined by the moments the place an alarm goes off and you find yourself gunning out of the financial institution and rampaging via the streets with a sports activities bag filled with loot, 10 Chambers needs its subsequent sport to be much less damaging on the eardrums. “This one will not be fixed capturing,” Andersson stated. “Payday had an enormous downside the place the motion would ramp up after which it might simply keep ramped up.”
It additionally will not be as excessive when it comes to issue as GTFO, which demanded stealth and staff play, and was ungenerous with checkpoints. Or as Andersson summed GTFO up, “You’ll be able to sneak for an hour, at the very least after which simply fucking die, proper?” His subsequent challenge will likely be a contact extra forgiving, he stated. “So it isn’t gonna have that hardcore factor to it. It’s extra mechanically clean, or you could possibly say, simpler to play.”
10 Chambers’ heist FPS would not have a reputation but, or a launch date both. “We have not put a date on it,” Andersson stated, “as a result of we do not need to miss a deadline or overpromise. We’re in pre-production in the meanwhile, however issues are ramping up fairly quick.”
Final we heard, Payday 3 was nonetheless in improvement at Overkill Software program, will use the Unreal Engine, and can carry the unique sport’s forged to New York the place their heists get sophisticated by trendy surveillance expertise and devices. The chances of at the very least one stage being themed round cryptocurrency are fairly good. It is scheduled for a 2023 launch.
