Starbreeze announces a deal with Plaion to take over as publisher on PAYDAY 3, its first-person heist shooter sequel. The game was released in September 21, 2023, but if you think that makes the timing odd, you are apparently wrong, as word is it is "opportune":

Background and rationale

• Starbreeze has reached a mutual agreement with PLAION regarding the publishing rights for PAYDAY 3. With the game now on the market for over 18 months, the timing is opportune for Starbreeze to assume full publishing responsibility.
• This will enable Starbreeze to accelerate content development and pursue broader business opportunities for the PAYDAY franchise as a whole.
• While this agreement marks the conclusion of the current publishing arrangement, it also lays the groundwork for a long-term partnership between Starbreeze and PLAION on future PAYDAY franchise projects.
• To finance the transaction, Starbreeze will issue new shares representing 10 percent of its outstanding share capital.
