Earlier this year it was announced that Overkill Software and Valve were working on a project together involving Payday: The Heist and Left 4 Dead, however little information was given. Today Overkill released a trailer and then subsequently pulled it down that revealed the collaboration to be Payday: The Heist- No Mercy, a prequel to the Left 4 Dead games. UPDATE: According to the Left4Dead Developer Twitter account, this is not the prequel to the series and is not to be considered canon. It will be a Payday: The Heist campaign with Left4Dead easter eggs. Additionally, in a reply tweet, it was said that a side story is coming soon and that an origin story has been mapped out, but are trying to decide when to release it.
Free PC games this week include XCOM Enemy Unknown, Payday: The Heist, Aliens vs Predator 2000, Crash Time 2 and more.
In celebration of reaching 1.5 million members on Payday 2's official Steam community group, Overkill is releasing Payday: The Heist completely free for 24 hours starting October 16th, 2 days ahead of the originally planned date - October 18th.
The game will be free to download/keep, and will stay in your Steam library as long as you claim it within the specified 24 hour window.
So last time, the Payday 2 community was just short of 1,000,000 players and we were given 3 months roughly to gain 500,000 more! A rather large and daunting task, one I didn’t believe was possible, I am, however, beginning to change my tune on that.
I'll be glad to see an introduction of MORE infamy bonuses. It's still majorly unfinished.
A PS4 version would of been prime after the Hardline delay, but no one expected that.
It is but CrimeFest might not actually apply to PS4 & X1 so I didn't feel comfortable adding those channels to this article.
Some of it will arrive probably - free DLC, masks etc. But Overkill are being slow on Console DLC's, this might be fought with the CrimeWave Editions (just package the DLC with the base game) - but other things in CrimeFest won't make the Consoles e.g. Free Payday The Heist, that's soley PC I believe so console owners won't prosper from that.
EDIT - correction Payday The Heist IS on PS3 but that still wont reach X360, PS4 or X1 most probably.
So no zombies? cause their's no point to make a cross over when their's no zombies cause L4D is all about zombies. I could care less about easter eggs.
Game looks much better in the dark.
Those flashing lights in the beginning almost gave me a seizure and I whatched it on a iPhone !!!!
Love this game, and fuck up a taser man if you see any of them for me :P
The fact that they even worked together to do this is simply amazing. We need more of this kind of support in the industry.
