Starbreeze, the Scandinavian developer and publisher of franchises like Payday, has confirmed that it's currently working on a brand new shooter that's being described as "Payday in space," as it's based on mechanics and designs elaborated for the Payday series.

Starbreeze and its smaller Overkill Software studio have delivered some great cooperative shooters with the Payday titles, giving players a chance to go on elaborate heists while fending off the police.

Now, a new project called Storm is underway and, according to an official document from the studio, it's being described to investors as Payday in space.

No other details are available, but Starbreeze revealed that the sci-fi shooter will take advantage of designs and gameplay from the Payday titles.

As of yet, it's unclear when the new game will be formally revealed to the world.
