Last year, Overkill released John Wick DLC for Payday 2 that brought the Keanu Reeves action-thriller into the game with a new playable character, weapons, and three—three!—pairs of sunglasses. Now the studio’s got something very similar in the works for Point Break.
Unlike its predecessor, however, this DLC is not based on the Keanu Reeves action-thriller, but rather the upcoming remake that will feature Luke Bracey in the Reeves role of Johnny Utah.
“Point Break has always been a huge inspiration for the Payday games, so to be able to integrate the film’s characters and storylines into Payday 2 is a dream come true,” Bo Andersson-Klint, CEO of Overkill parent Starbreeze Studios, said in a statement. “We previously worked closely with Lionsgate on the successful addition of their character John Wick as a member of the Payday gang, so using that same business model, Lionsgate introduced us to Alcon and Warner Bros. to create two Point Break heists that we believe are some of the best to date.”
