Payday 2, which is scheduled to be released on August 13, 2013, has launched its official website featuring plenty of videos to tease gamers on what to expect. The game is a cooperative, first-person shooter developed by Overkill Software and is the sequel to Payday: The Heist. Originally announced in February 2013, fans of the original Payday have been anxiously awaiting its sequel which promises to deliver a much-improved gameplay experience while offering all the fun Payday: The Heist is known for.
The game centralizes on performing bank heists and robberies, and according to the team at Overkill, is largely inspired by Blizzard’s Diablo II. Successfully completing a job showers you with loot that can be used to upgrade your arsenal of weapons, equipment, and skills. Payday 2 will also allow its players to customize their thief through skill trees made up of four distinct paths.
Payday 2 will be available for the Sony PlayStation 3, Microsoft Xbox 360, and PC via Steam.
