Starbreeze’s Decision to Prioritize Payday Series
Starbreeze recently made the tough call to cancel Project Baxter in order to shift their full attention to the Payday series. This decision came at a cost, with a loss of over 23 million euros and unfortunate layoffs for over 40 employees.
Focus on Payday Series
The company’s new strategy revolves around maximizing the potential of the Payday franchise. With over 50 million players and billions in revenue, it’s no surprise that Starbreeze is choosing to invest heavily in this successful series.
Acknowledging Team Efforts
Despite the cancellation of Project Baxter, CEO Adolf Kristjansson expressed gratitude to the team for their work on the Dungeons & Dragons project. While this project won’t be released, their efforts were still appreciated.
Starbreeze’s dedication to the Payday series is clear, as they plan to ramp up content releases and introduce new features. It’s a bold move for the company, but one that they believe will pay off in the long run.
