![Payday 3’s Publishing Plans “Impeded” By Pandemic](https://www.thetechgame.com/images/news/article/7ed5471dd3.jpg)
Starbreeze released their financial results for the first quarter of 2020. On the good side, it seems the company has managed to cut their losses by a decent amount, going from $17 million in Q1 2019 to $9.9 million now. The not so great news however, is it seems plans on Payday 3 have been affected to at least some degree. CEO Mikael Nermark has that talks with potential publishers are still ongoing, but due to the various different travel restrictions surrounding COVID-19, it’s “somewhat impeded ongoing discussions.” So, it sounds like there still isn’t a solid publishing plan in place (Thanks to GamesIndustry for transcribing the report).
Just to give you an idea of how important Payday 3 will be to Starbreeze, in that same finical report it was revealed the Payday series accounted for 99% of Q1 sales and is essentially all the company has left at this point. We’ve heard brief snippets about Payday 3 here and there, though it’s still probably a good ways off. It seems that a lot is riding on the game for the company, so fingers crossed all goes according to plan.
