Take A Peek At Payday 2's Live-Action Web Series

Publisher 505 Games is launching a Payday 2 web series next week, and you can get an early look at it right now. The clip shows four antiheroes – Dallas, Hoxton, Wolf, and Chains – as they get ready to unleash a large-scale series of heists.

The series is being directed by Demian Lichtenstein (3,000 Miles to Graceland), who's also directing a feature-length Payday movie. In the web series, the foursome are going wild in Washington D.C. for as-yet-unknown reasons. 

The first Payday had some great ideas, though they were poorly implemented. If the sequel can deliver the thrills that heist movies have for decades, we could have something special on our hands. Check at our preview for an in-depth look at the game, which includes some of the ways Overkill is addressing previous issues.

Look for Payday 2 on PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 this August.
