To learn more about how the original creators of Payday and Payday 2: The Heist are looking to reinvent the act of heisting with friends once again in a new studio, we recently sat down with narrative director and composer on Den of Wolves and 10 Chambers co-founder, Simon Viklund, who explains why ‘the sky is the limit’ thanks to the game’s futuristic setting and science fiction gadgets.
Den of Wolves interview – why ‘techno-thriller’ vibes give this co-op FPS an edge over Payday 10 Chambers narrative director Simon Viklund reveals all about how Den of Wolves intends to reinvent the co-op heist FPS genre with a ‘techno-thriller’ theme.
On the surface level, Den of Wolves is close conceptually to Payday and Payday 2: the Heist, which I and two of the other co-founders at 10 Chambers had worked on already.
The new game from GTFO studio 10 Chambers is hoping to bring just as much substance to the co-op heist shooter genre as style, however, tasking groups of four players to perform raids throughout the corpo-run city of Midway as the residents criminals for hire.
The latest trailer at 2024’s The Game Awards showcase certainly proved Den of Wolves means business, hoping to take a bite out of Payday 3’s lunch when it enters early access on Steam next year.
