Swedish developer Starbreeze Studios has endured its fair share of difficulties well before the pandemic hit, but the studio's financial results are a proper testament to the new leadership.

Starbreeze and Overkill announced the release of Crimson Shore which is the last chapter of the Silk Road campaign as the Payday gang settles the score with a drug lord.

Overkill confused pretty much anyone with different names tied to that latest Payday 2 update since one refers to the update itself and the other to the associated heist.

Starbreeze has been going through quite a difficult time lately and the company has been fighting tooth and nail to stay afloat. Their latest move may be of interest to Payday 2 fans - development will now continue with free and paid DLC.

Starbreeze has been going through quite a tumultuous period lately and the resulting reconstruction will be splitting the company in two. They also announced that their cash cow franchise is getting a new instalment between 2022 and 2023.

Recent troubles have taken a toll on the Swedish developer and publisher Starbreeze, and their latest financial reports paint a grim picture of a company that may have to shut down unless they come up with additional funding in 2019.

Swedish police forces have raided Starbreeze Studios' headquarters, on the suspicion of insider trading. Payday developers had a rough patch lately and it seems like someone knew well enough that the 80 per cent stock drop would happen.
