Payday 2 continues to crank out content for fans, including this week's Christmas DLC—dubbed Charlie Santa Heist—which went out free to all players on Monday. To celebrate, Overkill released a surprisingly affecting trailer, assembled from the point of view of a 911 call, cell phone camera footage, and news helicopters.
Developer David Goldfarb 505 Games announced that Payday 2 will continue to get new missions and updates for the next 20 months—more content that 505 will pay $6 million to fund.
A special bonus in this video is the scrolling news ticker, hiding such gems as “Are silenced grenades now a reality? Scientist Dr. Sandroff thinks research team has it figured out” and “Game company release free content, internet s furious.” Come for the gritty crime horror, stick around for Payday's trademark blend of chaos and winking, anarchist humor.
Players should have received the update in their Steam s on Monday. We also spoke to Goldfarb recently about Overkill's plans for its online community.
