In addition the publisher has announced that it has acquired all rights to the Payday franchise from 505 Games. The publisher is planning to support the game with 18 months of additional updates.

We’re very excited to bring our heisters home to the safe house," said Bo Andersson Klint, CEO at Starbreeze. "To start with, we believe in the continued success of PAYDAY 2 and will support it for at least another 18 months continuing expanding the game." Klint added.
