Payday: The Heist developer Overkill announced it's collaborating with Valve on a new game that's said to be a blend between Payday and Left 4 Dead.

“As perceptive gamers will have noticed, several hints have recently been dropped into Payday: The Heist, which has led to various rumors," said Overkill game director Ulf Andersson. "We are excited to be able to confirm that an in-depth collaboration between Overkill and Valve is currently in production."

He added: "We are working on a very cool blend of Payday and Left 4 Dead. I am sure it is so exciting that it will have some players check into the hospital before we are done.”

No other details were revealed at this time.

This sounds really amazing. I'm looking forward to this.

Two dev's who have worked on exclusives for competing consoles collaborating on a game that has the best of both? I am intrigued. I wonder which platforms it'll be on.

Sounds like this could be great...I've been waiting for l4d3 anyway so a new blend might be exactly what cake needed

So we'll be robbing banks and fighting off zombie cops? I don't think that's been done before.
by Rich Monday, May 21, 2012 at 12:59 PM

Left 4 day? Or paydead? Anything involving valve and l4d2 is a thumbs up in my book.
by slickvicXLII Monday, May 21, 2012 at 01:00 PM

Robbing banks filled with zombies and other assorted monsters? Sign me up!
by Pedro the Second Monday, May 21, 2012 at 01:04 PM

I can't wait till 2017!

Cliché Valve joke aside, I really am excited for this game. L4D2 is one of my favorite games this generation, so I'll be scouring the internet for more details on this.

Or... you know, YOU COULD HELP THEM FINISH HL3?!?!?!? We get it Valve, you're creative and you put all other developers to shame with the fact that you can leave an awesome IP behind and create other awesome IP's. BUT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, WE NEED HALF LIFE 3!!!!! COME ON GABE!!!
by Flosser Raptix Monday, May 21, 2012 at 01:12 PM

Hmmm....Nnnnnnn'terestiiiiiing.
by Brun Deign Monday, May 21, 2012 at 01:22 PM

I can only assume that they'd keep the "Left 4 Dead" moniker, unless Valve really does have something against the number 3.
by Hunter Allyn Monday, May 21, 2012 at 01:29 PM

Interesting. To my knowledge, Valve hasn't really done much collaboration in the past when it comes to game development. It'll be cool to see what comes out of this project.
by sirenscurse Monday, May 21, 2012 at 01:31 PM

Can't wait to see why Valve has hidden up their sleeves this time!
by Nikolas Davidoff Monday, May 21, 2012 at 01:33 PM

This is a bit off subject, but doesn't that laughing sun in the 'O' of their logo look like Starbreeze's insignia?
by Zachary Pligge Monday, May 21, 2012 at 01:43 PM

Sounds amazing and very interesting. Looking forward to hearing a lot more on this.
by Chase Wiensz Monday, May 21, 2012 at 01:44 PM

Wait, Payday is a blend of L4D and awesome heists, if you combine L4D and Payday, you either get, bank heists with zombies, or, Payday, again...
by Harry Monday, May 21, 2012 at 01:50 PM

If it's on PS3 I'll probably check it out.
by Tommy H. Monday, May 21, 2012 at 01:55 PM

So we can count on zombies then??? :P

when playing the demo for Payday all i could think of was how it was exactly like Left 4 Dead. i was a little disappointed in Payday. with such a great premise i guess it was doomed to not live up to my expectations, but teaming up with Valve will give them great resources.
