Starbreeze Studios og Overkill Software har indgået et samarbejde med den svenske DJ og musikproducer Alesso. Alesso skal hjælpe med den næste DLC til Payday 2, The Alesso Heist, som kommer til at foregå under en af hans koncerter. Alesso vil også lave et ny nummer som skal bruges i spillet, og som sjovt nok kommer til at hedde Payday.
"I'm a huge gaming fan. Starbreeze asked me to do my own piece of the game and appear in the game itself and it was an immediate yes from me. Payday was created with the animation and my live shows in mind, both of which feature in the game... a sort of animation sonic creation. It was a great experience for me and gaming is big for a lot of my fans so it was another great way to put my album into their world." sagde Alesso.
"Collaborating with Alesso brings our bank robbing game Payday 2 to the music scene. Having Alesso on board for the heist as well as him making a Payday track is awesome. His unique style of music fits Payday 2 perfectly and the song turned out great. We love how the heist looks and we're eager to hear what all the Payday 2 heisters think!" sagde Almir Listo, Global Brand Director, Starbreeze AB.
DLC'en er planlagt at udkomme på Steam til maj og vil koste dig £4.99/€6.99/$6.99.
