Sony Online Entertainment announces PAYDAY: The Heist, a first-person shooter for Windows and PlayStation 3 in development at Overkill Software for release later this year via digital distribution. This should not be confused with Hei$t, a crime game that was in development at inXile Entertainment before its cancellation earlier this year. Here are some screenshots, and here's a bit on the game's heists, which will be supported by additional missions via DLC:

Players will embark on a spectacular crime spree of six heart stopping heists, including blasting their way through a downtown bank vault robbery, managing hostages in an armored car hijacking and even a midnight infiltration of a top-secret, high-security facility. Additionally, PAYDAY: The Heist challenges players with dynamic environments and adaptive enemy tactics — meaning no scenario will ever play out the same way twice. Teamwork is essential to ensure crew members provide cover under fire, guard key access points, break through various security measures and keep civilians in check. Survive wave after wave of the best that law enforcement can deploy as they shift strategies in response to player actions and gameplay style.
