According to a statement from Almir Listo, Head of Community at Starbreeze Studios, the Steam Community Hub will be used to answer questions from curious fans.
There probably are a lot of questions about PAYDAY 3 that you want to ask, and while we can’t answer all of them (yet!) we want to share a space where the community can talk about anything PAYDAY 3 as we get closer to launch. On that note, we’ve opened up the Steam Community Hub, so we can start using its discussion board.

This surprise release comes a decade after Payday 2, initially released in August 2013. These past ten years have clearly only served to create anticipation for one of the most beloved co-op shooter games out there.
It’s pretty remarkable that Payday could remain so beloved even after so many years. That’s almost as long as the gap between the Avatar movies.
This new entry is making sure to keep up with the needs of fans. While Payday 2 used the Diesel Engine, Payday 3 is being developed using Unreal Engine. This is sure to create an incredibly immersive 3D experience for players. Perhaps this could even help Payday 3 surpass the popularity of its predecessor.
All in all, Payday 3 is shaping up to be one of the most highly-anticipated upcoming releases of the year. We’ll have to wait and see if it manages to live up to the hype.
