ThePayday 3devs recently revealed that they would love to have a crossover where players have to fight against Batman or John McLane.
In aninterview with TechRadar Gaming, Starbreeze’s global brand director, Almir Listo, and producer, Andreas Häll-Penninger, discussed future plans forPayday 3and where they want the series to head.
“We really just wanted to capture the Payday feeling and modernize it a little bit,” says Häll-Penninger. Previously,Payday 2had a bountiful crossover with John Wick andHotline Miamiand now it looks like the devs want to relive that success.
“Spontaneously, I’d love to do something withDie Hard, and have John McClane show up as a cloaker,” says Listo. “Or Batman, you’re on voice chat screaming ‘It’s the f**king Batman.’ I like the idea that you’re robbing a place, and you see the bat signal out over the sky, and you just know he’s coming.” While the threat of famous vigilantes is the last thing a gang of criminals would possibly want, the addition of famous personalities to the game could be a real treat for players.
AsPayday 3is set in New York city, there’s clearly fertile ground for crossovers. After all, an impressive range of fictional goons and crime-fighting vigilantes alike are known to call the BigAppletheir home. “The Continental Hotel is based in New York, right?” says Listo. “John Wickwas a cool collaboration with Lionsgate that worked for them and worked for us. It’d be good to revisit that.”
The Continental Hotel would be an iconic and luxurious setting that would fulfill the dreams of John Wick fans instantly. The possibility of assassins hiding around every corner alongside intricate traps laying around the hotel would do much to make this setting an adrenaline junkie’s playground.
