The 100th update for Payday 2 was announced today by Overkill and man what an update it is. Overkill again owns the rights to the Payday IP after having reacquired it from 505 Games. Their first order of business is to remove those crappy microtransactions and make them free to those that own the game, but that's not all.
We own Payday again
The Payday franchise is ours again and to celebrate it, we’re giving away a community grenade, the skills tree and we’re making the black market free for everyone going forward.
Continued support 18 more months!
We will continue to develop stuff for Payday 2 for another 18 months. We’re excited tol continue working on the game until the end of 2017!
Website with FAQ on Thursday!
The website that describes the update in full will go live this Thursday. Up until then, feel free to ask your questions in this here below thread, and we’ll create a FAQ to explain exactly what the changes of update 100 will mean for you.

The team also released a new teaser for something that they will be announcing at E3. You can check that out below.
I'm also confused that Overkill Studios intends to continue support for Payday 2 up to the end of 2017. Does this mean they're multi-tasking between Payday 2 and The Walking Dead? Or are they splitting up teams, with a skeletal team maintaining Payday 2? (Don't get me wrong, I believe Overkill Studios would put a skeletal team that would work, unlike 22 Cans failed team who are currently working on Godus and Godus Wars.)
