Starbreeze AB announced that it has entered into an agreement with the Stockholm Syndrome. Under the agreement, Stockholm Syndrome receives an exclusivity period during which time they can represent the PAYDAY IP and work on it with talent such as writers and directors. The goal for the project is to develop a PAYDAY story for tv or film, and find a partner to distribute it worldwide.

With an installed base of almost 40 million, the smash hit game has a long history of players engaging in the story about the PAYDAY-gang. This year the IP is celebrating its 12 years anniversary since the release of the first PAYDAY game. Since then, players regularly get to enjoy new content and chapters in the saga thanks to Starbreeze's Games-as-a-Service-model.
