    Starbreeze Acquires Overkill Software

    Starbreeze (Syndicate) is primed to acquire Overkill Software, the studio behind Payday: The Heist.

    GI.biz reports that Starbreeze's acquisition is pending on the sale of 200 million new shares, set to be released on June 15, 2012. In addition, an incentive program of "42.8 million stock options for employees of Overkill" will be included.

    "Starbreeze and Overkill are two unique FPS studios," said Overkill's creative director Ulf Andersson in a statement, translated from the Swedish.

    "Starbreeze has graphical emphasis, and Overkill has total focus on innovative gameplay. Together we form a unique constellation of creative forces. With two strong technology platforms and extensive experience in major productions, we become an unbeatable team."
