A HOTLINE MIAMI HOMAGE CELEBRATES PAYDAY´S LEGACY

The fan-favourite heister, Jacket, known for his iconic chicken mask, voice recorder, and unrelenting penchant for ruthless violence, makes his triumphant return to the PAYDAY universe on February 3.  



 

In addition to the trailer, Starbreeze has created a mini-game to celebrate the upcoming launch of Jacket and PAYDAY´S legacy. ‘Don´t be a Hero’ is a stealth take on the iconic Hotline Miami franchise, Jacket’s home. 

Don´t be a Hero 

Don’t Be a Hero is a stealth-focused homage to the Hotline Miami franchise. It’s created by Vincent Hellberg, a Graphic Designer on the Starbreeze marketing team, who also makes his own games and is known for his memorable role as Robert Banks in the Gateway Live lore videos. 

Flipping the script, players step into the role of Milton, a bank teller obsessed with the PAYDAY gang. Instead of being the predator, you play as a survivor trying to outmanoeuvre the gang, save colleagues, and grab some cash along the way. 

Embrace the chaos, grab your bat, and unleash your inner psychopath—because Jacket is back. https://t.paydaythegame.com/c/gdsms7
