"I'm a huge gaming fan. Starbreeze asked me to do my own piece of the game and appear in the game itself and it was an immediate yes from me. PAYDAY was created with the animation and my live shows in mind, both of which feature in the game. A sort of animation sonic creation," Alesso said in a press release.
"It was a great experience for me and gaming is big for a lot of my fans so it was another great way to put my album into their world," he added.
Other than the brand new exclusive hit from the DJ, "The Alesso Heist" will greet the players with a slew of new items including a new ranged and melee weapons as well as four new masks. The masks were created in collaboration with Alesso, who designed them with his trademark logo.
