Grab a Free Copy of Payday: The Heist This October

Christopher Metz

Due to Overkill reaching a milestone of over 1.05 million people on the PAYDAY 2 Steam Community group, the developer will be opening up their previous title for free download via Steam later this fall. Be sure to look out for the free title on October 18th and grab it while you can. Though it may not be as advanced as its sequel, it's still a fantastic game that spawned a co-op focused series. What's even better is that Overkill will unlock even more goodies for the community if it reaches a whopping 1.5 million hits (please check the promotional page for more info). Can it be done? We sure think so!

Creepy clown masks are all the rage these days. So much so it looks like a sequel is in the works for PAYDAY: The Heist. The original game was developed by Overkill Software who was then acquired by Starbreeze shortly afterwards. While we don't know of any changes on the surface for the studio, having the Starbreeze influence, who most recently developed Syndicate, could make for some welcome changes to the series. We last heard about the sequel in April, but not much has been said since then.

It's now been leaked as to exactly what that is. It's called PAYDAY: No Mercy and looks to be a map or a set of maps for PAYDAY: The Heist set in the familiar Left 4 Dead level No Mercy. But that's not the interesting part for the four player co-op game.
