The Official PlayStation Blog has announced a brand new title called
Payday: The Heist, a downloadable first-person shooter for PSN built around a series of six high-stakes robberies. With AI or fellow co-op players, you'll
charge into banks, prisons, and armored cars to get the goods and get out as
alive as possible. The graphics look ... serviceable, but there's supposed to be some depth here too, with three classes to play with, and an experience-based upgrade system to unlock new weapons and other accessories.
The game's being developed by Overkill Software, and all we know about them is they're run by Bo Andersson, a Swedish developer from
Grin, the company that developed
Bionic Command: Rearmed and the PC ports for
Tom Clancy's GRAW and its sequel. So there's a little pedigree here to begin with. We'll have to see how the game looks in full action later next week at E3.
