So, we wanted to make E3 something special this year. We decided to showcase not only the latest PAYDAY2 DLC &#8211; The Casino and PAYDAY 2: Crimewave Edition in our fabulous casino themed booth occupying our usual spot in the West Hall lobby. Nah we wanted more. We decided that we wanted the space next to it as well, to feature a first preview of OVERKILL&#8217;s The Walking Dead. In VR. With our new VR-initiative and HMD <a href="http://www.starvr.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">StarVR</a>. Boom.
Also, did we mention we had real life walkers roaming the halls? It was awesome.
We had a great time meeting members of the press, old as well as new potential partners and fans, serving up more than 1200 VR-demos throughout the week. Please enjoy a selected news sweep starting from the announcement of our E3 line-up at House of Blues on June 13 and onwards together with a gallery below:

 “I&#8217;m a huge gaming fan. Starbreeze asked me to do my own piece of the game and appear in the game itself and it was an immediate yes from me.  PAYDAY was created with the animation and my live shows in mind, both of which feature in the game… a sort of animation sonic creation.  It was a great experience for me and gaming is big for a lot of my fans so it was another great way to put my album into their world.” said Alesso
“Collaborating with Alesso brings our bank robbing game PAYDAY 2 to the music scene.  Having Alesso on board for the heist as well as him making a PAYDAY track is awesome. His unique style of music fits PAYDAY 2 perfectly and the song turned out great.

Trust me, I was high-fiving the hell out of my monitor after getting the first screenshots! So why Dennaton Games and OVERKILL? Why PAYDAY and Hotline Miami? Cause I get the same feeling and drive from this as when I played in hardcore bands back in the 90s. Everyone did covers or remade songs of other bands, simple because we could, we loved each other’s stuff and most of all because we were friends!&#8221; says Dennis Wedin, co-founder, Dennaton Games
&#8220;Making another collaboration with Dennis and Jonatan really makes this PAYDAY and Hotline Miami crossover come full circle. By buying Hotline Miami 2, you get a great game and additional content for PAYDAY 2.

She tasks the PAYDAY gang to perform two new Bomb heists for an explosive reward.” said Bo Andersson Klint, CEO, Starbreeze AB.

For me personally, having been part of OVERKILL before I started Lion Game Lion, this is a very special day. Having the type of developer-publisher relationship we have is very unique. We look forward to continue working with Starbreeze Studios.” said Nikica Petrusic President, Lion Game Lion
