"Starbreeze and Overkill are two unique FPS studios," said Overkill's creative director Ulf Andersson in a statement, translated from the Swedish. Work has already started on both expansions and sequels. Since its release in October 2011, Payday: The Heist has sold 400,000 copies via digital platforms - equivalent to £1.42m/$2.3m in revenue and £388k/$625k in net profit. The deal includes Overkill's IP and proprietary technology, and will establish a new Starbreeze office in Stockholm. Starbreeze will also implement an incentive program of 42.8 million stock options for employees of Overkill. The acquisition is contingent on the sale of 200 million new shares in Starbreeze, which will be released on or about June 15 2012. Starbreeze has taken the next step in its goal to own IP with the acquisition of Overkill Software, the Swedish developer behind the award-winning Payday: The Heist.
