Starbreeze has something new cooking on the Payday front and, well, it's a VR game—Payday: Aces High, a co-op heist game like the others in the series, but "built specifically for virtual reality, bringing the planning, teamwork and signature chaos of a Payday heist to a fully immersive format."
Payday: Aces High does look very much like a Payday game: Four supposedly elite bank robbers put on suits and clown masks, and then Gong Show their way through jobs that invariably end in extreme violence and huge body counts. Not exactly the height of professionalism there, fellas!
This one, however, is being developed by Fast Travel Games, a VR studio whose previous releases include Cities: VR, Vampire: The Masquerade: Justice, the confusion-causing Apex Construct, and the Stellaris VR spinoff Ghost Signal. Up to four people can partake in co-op multiplayer action and, possibly because finding four people with VR headsets can be a challenge unto itself, singleplayer is also supported.
"Bringing the iconic Payday universe to VR has been more than a milestone for our studio—it's been a genuine privilege," Fast Travel CEO Oskar Burman said. "Working with an IP cherished by millions has been fantastic, and watching our team capture that magic in a fully fledged VR experience has been truly inspiring."
