by Rainier on May 7, 2015 @ 9:43 a.m. PDT

Payday 2: Crimewave Edition is the next installment in the bank robbery shooter adding new features such as a skill and progression system, as well as four classes/professions, each giving you unique abilities.

The Crimewave Edition includes enhanced features and a stash of new bonus content, giving fans the ultimate Payday experience.

Payday 2 casts gamers as a member of the infamous Payday crew as they work their way through the biggest, most elaborate heists of their careers using the all new Crime.net system, overseen by the mysterious Bain. Designed from the ground up to be the ultimate four player, co-operative experience, Payday 2 features four new skill trees -- the charismatic Mastermind, the heavy Enforcer, the gadget-crazy Technician and the super stealthy Ghost -- which, alongside a versatile weapon modification system and all new mask creator, gives players the chance to live out their fantasy of being a career criminal.

Payday 2: Crimewave Edition will be available for digital download on June 16th.

The new edition is loaded with over a year’s worth of DLC packs and content updates including the popular Big Bank Heist, and even the addition of “Clover,” the first female heister. Action filled crime sprees look better than ever on next-gen consoles with improved frame rate, better textures and 1080p resolution. 

Payday 2: Crimewave Edition introduces a number of new high-octane heists and new contacts The Dentist, voiced by actor Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad), and The Butcher, voiced by Mira Furlan (Lost and Babylon 5). In addition to new jobs and multi-stage contracts, a wider range of weapons such as shotguns, sniper rifles and grenades deliver an explosive kick to the new enemy archetypes that players will face.

New characters, more masks and brand new perk system bring a whole new level of customization to the experience along with a fifth skill tree for stealthy players. A preplanning stage has also been added, providing everything that perfectionist players need to pull off their dream crime spree.
