(See below)Īs mentioned in a developer Q&A, PAYDAY 2 was supposed to feature special cross-overs into Overkill's 2017 co-op zombie survival, Overkill's The Walking Dead due to both games taking place in Washington D.C. The console versions, however, have not received the same amount of positive feedback, due to the lack of updates and support. Furthermore, the game has more downloadable content planned than the previous game. The PC version is regularly updated, runs smoother and looks much better because of the larger studio and the bigger budget. Overkill has attempted to address complaints from the previous game.

In March, Overkill began showing previews of the game to major gaming publications. PAYDAY 2 was announced when very little information was shared, other than Overkill Software would work on the sequel and 505 Games would publish it. Additionally, Ultimate Edition has been renamed into 'Legacy Edition', which includes all content pre- White House. Overkill announced on the 25th of October 2019, development of PAYDAY 2 will begin once again, bringing both free content, and paid DLC, on future content updates.

All DLCs save the aforementioned one were delisted and made unpurchasable after this date.įollowing the full acquisition of the PAYDAY IP by Starbreeze in May 2016, the developers have announced an extension for their content support for the game, with it now ending in late October 2018 and the confirmation of PAYDAY 3, though PAYDAY 2 itself will be maintained at least for the foreseeable future.

Lastly, all pre-2019 content updates for PAYDAY 2, save for the H3h3 Character Pack, will be made free with the release of PAYDAY 2 Ultimate Edition (later renamed PAYDAY 2 Legacy Edition) on June 8th, 2017. As part of the Winds of Change announcement by the company, on the 9th of December of 2019, the Nintendo Switch version is announced to cease future content development due to performance and optimization issues. In April 2017, a Nintendo Switch version of PAYDAY 2 announcement was made, with its release in February 27th of 2018. Subsequently, an even more expansive edition called PAYDAY 2: The Big Score Edition was released on September 8th, 2016 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One owners, which includes all of the Crimewave version's content and additional DLCs released up until the end of 2015.
