Starbreeze is now preparing for the launch of Payday 3 at Gamescom, which will happen soon. Fans were caught off guard when, during the opening night showcase, legendary rapper Ice-T made an unexpected cameo to reveal that he had partnered with Payday 3 for an official in-game robbery mission of his own. This robbery ought to be right up your alley if you’ve ever pondered what one of your favorite musical artists could create with your favorite gaming developer.
Ice-T took over during Gamescom’s Opening Night Live event, saying, “I’ve hooked up with my favorite gaming world, Payday.” The rapper went on to reveal that “I have my own special heist mission,” stating that he’s personally got plenty of experience with heists himself. I don’t think I’ve ever witnessed a more iconic Gamescom moment myself personally, but the new Port Jersey heist trailer that followed Ice-T’s announcement is up there.
That’s right, the new Ice-T heist is based in Port Jersey, and you’ll be looking for its particularly valuable goods. Since it’s a port, there’s constant loot going in and out. Starbreeze also introduced its new contact Mac, saying he “has put us on the trail of some highly valuable quantum processors being sent through the Roger Wilson Shipping Company.”
