505 Games and Overkill Software has announced that the upcoming title Payday 2, sequel to the 2011 hit Payday: The Heist, will no longer be limited to digital download and will now additionally be released globally at retail for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Game Director on Payday 2 David Goldfarb said, “We have a bit of a problem here at Overkill – there are just too many great ideas and none that we were really happy to throw out - so Payday 2 has become just too big to reserve release on Xbox Live and PlayStation Network alone.”

“It’s an incredible position to be in, having a game that just keeps growing and getting better all the time,” added Head of Global Brand at 505 Games, Tim Woodley. “We wanted to do everything we could to make a game that truly fits the vision of the team at Overkill but most importantly delivers an exciting, rewarding experience for the player – be they a long-time fan or new to the series.  We’re expecting great things from Payday 2 and are really looking forward to working with our retail partners all over the world to make it the huge success it deserves to be.”

Payday 2 will release for consoles and PC, via Steam, in August 2013.

The first Payday was a modestly successful co-op crime-'em-up that saw you and three buddies teaming up to pull off heists, including a memorable homage to the bank robbery scene in Michael Mann's Heat. Payday 2 continues this tradition, but on a much grander scale.
