Today, Overkill Software and 505 Games teamed up to release the first official gameplay trailer for their highly popular first-person shooter Payday 2.
The video above shows gameplay taken from a bank robbery and gives us a good idea of what to expect when the cooperative first-person shooter releases in August. Fans of the original Payday: The Heist will notice that Payday 2 is now multiplatform and looks even more impressive than the previous entry in the series. Our very own editor and friend, ElectroJade, is a huge Payday fan and I’m pretty sure she will be blown away by this one too.
