In a recent development update video shared by the Overkill studio, the Community Manager and Global Brand Director behind Payday 2 talked about the game's future and the upcoming City of Gold expansion.
Although Payday 3 is currently in the development process at Overkill, the team has not stopped supporting Payday 2 so far. The City of Gold expansion offers a new smuggler's pack along with dozens of mods, weapons, and skins.

Below, you can read a summary of what the Payday 2 City of Gold expansion is and how things get started in San Francisco with Jiu Feng, a former triad member.
The port of San Francisco brings in a wide variety of merchandise from Asia and elsewhere, and some of it is of the more shady kind. Through Joy (a San Francisco native), the Payday Gang has a new smuggler contact, a former triad member named Jiu Feng, presenting them with the option to purchase a range of new weapons, mods and weapon colors. The Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack includes a shotgun, an SMG, and a pistol (with akimbo options for the latter two), along with 9 mods and 20 weapon colors.
