PayDay 2 has been dated for release on the PC and consoles this August 2013. Published by 505 Games and developed by Overkill Software, PayDay 2 is the sequel to the 2011 hit title PayDay: The Heist, and it will be available in stores as a physical copy. The original game was limited to a digital release.
Game Director David Goldfarb said, "We have a bit of a problem here at Overkill – there are just too many great ideas and none that we were really happy to throw out – so PayDay 2 has become just too big to reserve release on Xbox Live and PlayStation Network alone."
"It's an incredible position to be in, having a game that just keeps growing and getting better all the time," added Head of Global Brand at 505 Games, Tim Woodley. "We wanted to do everything we could to make a game that truly fits the vision of the team at Overkill but most importantly delivers an exciting, rewarding experience for the player – be they a long-time fan or new to the series. We're expecting great things from PayDay 2 and are really looking forward to working with our retail partners all over the world to make it the huge success it deserves to be."
