RETAIL TALKING POINTS
Payday 2 is the first retail outing in the bank heist franchise that lets players plan and carry out high-risk robberies. It is also the first time the series has appeared on Xbox 360.
It follows the acclaimed first Payday, which was released as a digital only game for PSN and PC in 2011. It has since sold 1.6m units and garnered a cult following.
The original Payday crew of Dallas, Hoxton, Wold and Chains return in the sequel as they descend on Washington DC to carry out an elaborate string of large-scale robberies.
Players are able to plan out every aspect of their heists. Each one allows for a variety of approaches, whether that’s a silent and stealthy entrance, or a gun blazing smash-and grab.
OUR expectations are high for Payday 2. We
have a proven brand, an extremely passionate community and we’re coming off the back of our biggest ever showing at E3 this year, where we picked up four awards. The first game, Payday: The Heist, has sold over 1.6m units since it launched on Steam and PSN in 2011 and there is a very enthusiastic and loyal community hungry for the next installment.
As they carry out more heists, players will be able to invest in four skill trees. Each of these feature different skills and equipment proficiencies to master, which can then be mixed and used to carry out the ultimate robbery.
Up to four friends can join in on the co-op action in Payday 2as bigger heists require a more elaborate squad. Players will have to choose their crew for each robbery carefully to ensure they have the right skills for the job.
