It may have had the fans of payday 2 and TWD interested already, but the number of those who would still buy the game are all over the place.

#1: OTWD was a, technically speaking, new IP. My theory for that compared to what might happen with Payday is as follows: I should probably note, OTWD was also eventually made on Unreal 4, but never became an epic exclusive. It might cause a divide in the community between people like me who know the real story, and the knob heads with no research who just call Overkill greedy pigs. This might be the first time I wont actually be mad if a game goes Epic Exclusive for a year if I'm being honest, for me personally I'm more annoyed at high budget devs taking the money (Rockstar with RDR2, Ubisoft with Assassins Creed Valhalla, Deep Silver with Metro Exodus, etc) but I can still see a lot of people upset and that's why I'm scared for the future of Payday. The Epic money is a safety net, and lets face it, they need it. That doesn't include steam royalties on top of that.Īlso a sequel to one of the most popular games on steam with a cult following feels like exactly the kind of game Epic Games would want on their store.īut what if, knowing how much Overkill cares about the community, they actually refuse exclusivity (assuming they aren't forced into it) and release only on Steam and consoles, and the game doesn't make the money they need to stay afloat? That would be the last straw, and they are already just barely hanging on (thanks bo). Regardless Overkill will have to pay Epic 5% of the sales in royalties if they release on Steam, but not if they release on Epic. It's why they are making Payday 3 after all, to save their company primarily. Such as what might have happened with Borderlands 3? I can't confirm this, but developers who use Unreal 4 may be locked into a contract with epic for a non permanent exclusivity deal, just for using Unreal 4. See where I'm going with this? We all know how much Overkill is struggling, any extra money they can get might just be worth the community backlash just to stay afloat, so a deal with a fat check from Epic Games could help them. Unreal Engine 4 is probably the best gaming engine there is currently, but guess who its owned and created by? Epic Games. That is the fact Payday 3 has confirmed to move away from the heavily outdated and buggy Diesel Engine, and be made on Unreal Engine 4.

However, what most people celebrated, concerns me. As you can see below, the slide cites PAYDAY 2 (which will be updated with new content up until 2019), Overkill's The Walking Dead, the untitled Crossfire co-op game as well as System Shock 3 and Psychonauts 2, both due to be published by Starbreeze.I'm sure most if not all Payday fans are aware of the confirmation of Payday 3, the long awaited sequel to our favourite heist game. At the same time, they've revealed the titles that are expected to generate revenue in 2020 and among those, there is no mention of PAYDAY 3. Starbreeze has lofty goals to increase revenue from 2017's 361 million SEK (Swedish Krona), or $41 million, to 2 billion SEK or $228.6 million by 2020. However, the presentation that goes along this financial report also contains an interesting outlook on what's next for the company. But when the opportunity arose, we made a business decision to sell because we expect profits from the game, through this transaction, to exceed our earlier forecast of the game's remaining lifetime.ĭead by Daylight has been a huge hit and the deal makes it possible to for us to invest in other publishing projects. This might seem contradictory when the expressed strategy is to widen the game portfolio with additional publishing titles. We agreed in March 2018 to sell the publishing rights to Dead by Daylight.
