Sydney, Australia – August 13, 2013 – 505 Games, a global publisher of video games, and Overkill – a Starbreeze company, today announced the launch of eagerly awaited heist-based co-op shooter PAYDAY 2 for Steam PC and home consoles.
Winner of four “best of show” awards at E3 2013, PAYDAY 2 casts gamers as a member of the infamous Payday crew as they work their way through the biggest, most elaborate heists of their careers using the all new Crime Net system, overseen by the mysterious Bain.
Designed from the ground up to be the ultimate four-player, co-operative experience, PAYDAY 2 also features four brand new skill trees – the charismatic Mastermind, heavy Enforcer, gadget-crazy Technician and the super stealthy Ghost – which, alongside a versatile weapon modification system and all new mask creator, gives players the chance to live out their own fantasy of being a career criminal.
