What is Overkill Software up to?

More On: Payday 2

Overkill Studios, makers of Payday 2 are filming something and they gave us a sneak peak on Youtube. The following was posted on their official Twitter page... 

What's this?: #PAYDAY2 #prisoner #Gensec #breakout #wankers. We're not sure what's going on but we figured you'd like to see it. ;)

The short clip shows what seems to be guards beating up a prisoner until they are blown away by an explosion in the wall. If I had to guess, I would think this may be part of the trailer for the Old Hoxton Breakout DLC, which we know is coming in the future. For those unaware, the Hoxton in Payday 2 is a different Hoxton. The Hoxton from Payday: The Heist is in prison and The Dentist says he will give Dallas information on how to break him out. 

Right now Overkill Software is holding a Crimefest contest. The more people that subscribe to their official Steam page, the more free rewards the community earns. 

Right now the page sits at 1,262,268, which means Payday 2 players have earned the following content free when it becomes available. 

  • Brass Knuckles
  • Golden Axe
  • Judge Gun and Money Bundle Weapon
  • Payday: The Heist free on Steam 
  • Mask from Bain
  • Old Hoxton Breakout Heist
  • Old Hoxton Playable Character
  • Single Day Heist

Either way, hopefully we will see what the clip is for in the near future.
