Not long after journalist and content creators got their first hands-on time with Overkill’s highly-anticipated Payday sequel, one creator has managed to leak an entire 18 minutes of raw, unsanctioned gameplay footage from their time with the game.
While everything we’ve seen publicly of the game so far has been direct from Payday 3’s own marketing, this creator’s footage – which clearly comes from recent previews as it also features Overkill staff playing alongside – seems to have been personally captured and completely uncut. It shows off a bank heist mission, with the team of four starting off in stealth before quickly being discovered and all hell hilariously breaking loose.
For fans eager to see a full Payday 3 heist in all its glory, the video paints a pretty tangible picture of the overall “game feel.” Although we’re not going to risk providing any kind of link to said footage, a quick Google search was all it took for us to turn it up when we first learned of its existence.
If you’d like to learn more about Payday 3 through a more legitimate channel, we were also lucky enough to get some hands-on time with the game and wrote a lengthy preview of our thoughts (without breaking NDAs), saying “While it plays it relatively safe in terms of improving on a tried formula, it adds some new wrinkles that further flesh out options within heists and their numerous phases. The SURPHAZE Art Gallery is also a promising look into the types of locations we can expect in PAYDAY 3’s heists, and I have no doubt that challenging difficulty modifiers will bring a lot of replay value to the table when the game launches.”
PAYDAY 3 releases on September 21st for PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. Amazon has the cheapest shipped pre-order at $54 including free delivery.
