CRIMEFEST – Day 10
INTRODUCING THE KING OF THE JUNGLE
On the tenth day of Crimefest, we introduce the king of the jungle.
Heisters, whenever we talk about new content, you always tell us you want more heists. Our level team at OVERKILL work as fast as they can, but they can only produce so many.
So what does OVERKILL do? We bring in reinforcements.
Today we announce a PAYDAY co-development with the independent Lion Game Lion crew. Formed by industry veterans, lead by Nikica Petrusic, a former OVERKILL crew member, they are a studio based in Zagreb, Croatia, and are currently working on their first heist connected to a new contact in Crime.net, codenamned as “The Butcher”. Together we will further expand PAYDAY 2 with an all-new DLC titled “The Bomb” to be released early 2015. The Butcher will send you heisters on a bomb-stealing raid loaded with new guns and gear.

Here’s the LION GAME LION crew in all their glory!
For those of you with the Spotter skill, you can see Ilija, the Lead Level Designer of OVERKILL, in the picture as well. OVERKILL crew members will visit the Lions from time to time and vice versa.
“As a publisher in the new digital economy, you have to listen real well. When an independent developer like this tells you: “Hey, we know this is your baby and all, but we have this great idea for an expansion, you better pay attention.” We listened and realized Lion Game Lion pitched a true PAYDAY idea for a great heist. The collaboration has gone very smoothly and I truly feel our players will enjoy this OVERKILL and Lion Game Lion mash-up.” – OVERKILL_Bo
“This isn’t just about bringing you guys more content. It’s about helping another game developer stand on their own two feet just like you – the PAYDAY community – helped us to. We want more developers in the world with their power in their own hands. It doesn’t hurt that you get awesome content on the way though. ;)” – OVERKILL_Almir
SUMMARY
TL;DR We hired another studio to bring you even MORE heists. You can thank us when you’ve saved old Hoxton, you wankers.
