2020 may have been a troubling year for many, but for Swedish developer Starbreeze Studios it seems to have proven a breath of fresh air. After a difficult couple of years, the studio behind\u00a0Payday 2<\/em><\/a>\u00a0claims to have put the worst of it behind it, and may even be looking to announce a long-awaited sequel soon.<\/p>\n

For a time, Starbreeze appeared to be in the midst of a riches-to-rags tragedy of sorts.\u00a0After the successful release of\u00a0Payday 2<\/em> all the way back in 2013, things seemed rosy for the company, but a badly-received\u00a0Walking Dead<\/em> title and allegations of insider trading in 2018<\/a> soon led to cost-cutting, layoffs and eventually filing for reconstruction to avoid bankruptcy.<\/p>\n

By 2019 it looked like Starbreeze was due to close any minute as\u00a0they continued\u00a0shedding assets to keep themselves afloat, including selling an entire production company to Rockstar<\/a>. In 2020, however, things started to look up, as the team returned to active development on\u00a0Payday 2<\/em>, rewarding their loyal fanbase with new content and starting to look for a new publisher for the sequel. In their end-of-year financial report, acting CEO\u00a0Tobias Sj\u00f6gren noted that their new business model had “really showed their muscles,” allowing them to successfully raise capital and pay off a significant portion of their debts.<\/p>\n

Due to their renewed financial position,\u00a0Sj\u00f6gren also mentioned that they would be able to continue development on\u00a0Payday 3<\/em><\/a> alongside putting out new content for\u00a0Payday 2<\/em> – in his words, “all key steps in putting Starbreeze back on the map as an industry leader.” The search for a publisher for\u00a0Payday 3<\/em> is ongoing, but\u00a0Sj\u00f6gren maintained that the company was “standing strong and confident in our efforts to close a publishing agreement with a partner that is as passionate about games as a service as Starbreeze is.”<\/p>\n

All in all, Starbreeze seems to have successfully picked itself up and dusted itself off, and is ready to rejoin the fray of the games industry. With\u00a0Payday 2<\/em> still drawing players into its enormous online community<\/a> even 8 years after its release, and the newly invigorated\u00a0company determined to keep providing content and support for it, 2021 could well see Starbreeze continue to go from strength to strength.<\/p>\n

Payday 2<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0is available now on PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.<\/p>\n
