PAYDAY: The Heist's release date has been pushed back to October 18th, yet most gamers would rather wait for a completed game rather than purchase an incomplete title.
PAYDAY promises to offer a unique action shooter experience where gamers take on the persona of an elite professional criminal who participates in full-scale armed robberies. Developed by Overkill Software, PAYDAY will incorporate a blend of FPS dynamics with a story arc where gamers take on the role as the villain rather than the hero.
PAYDAY: The Heist is scheduled to release October 18th $19.99 on PC and PlayStation 3 via digital download.
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.
A PS4 version would of been prime after the Hardline delay, but no one expected that.
