Kevin Dreyfuss, SVP of AMC Networks' Digital Content & Gaming Studio, and Genuine Entertainment's Joe LeFavi will serve as executive producers on the limited Liveplay series. The unnamed liveplay series promises to "cross paths" with at least one familiar face from The Walking Dead universe. Overkill states that this is due to the game being created using the Unreal Engine.Additionally, AMC will also produce a limited Liveplay series featuring original characters and events pulled from The Walking Dead's writers' room. Console versions also will be the same version as the game on PC platforms, unlike its predecessor. On January 1, 2023, a teaser trailer titled A New Criminal Dawn was released, revealing its logo.

Payday 3 will be developed using Unreal Engine. In March 2021, Koch Media committed to pay €50 million to assist in the game's development and marketing, including more than 18 months of post-launch support using the games as a service model.

Publisher Prime Matter announced in May 2016 that Payday 3 was in development at Overkill Software, after Starbreeze acquired the rights to the intellectual property for around US$30 million. Payday 3 will take place in the 2020s, intended to add more depth to the Payday Gang's crimes with game-changing differences like more advanced surveillance or the rise of cryptocurrency. From teaser images, one of the missions will take place at the "Gold & Sharke Incorporated" bank. The original crew of characters originating from Payday: The Heist ("Dallas", "Chains", "Wolf", and "Hoxton") will appear in Payday 3, and the game will take place mainly in New York. The game will take place after the ending of Payday 2 where the heisters went separate ways and left their lives of crime, but something re-motivates the Payday Gang to continue the life of crime. It is a sequel to Payday 2, and is also the third installment in the Payday series of video games. Payday 3 (stylised as PAYDAY 3) is an upcoming first-person shooter game developed by Overkill Software and Starbreeze Studios and published by Prime Matter.
