Overkill Software and Sony have confirmed that next week their popular Payday: The Heist cooperative shooter will receive a brand new downloadable add-on called Wolfpack, on the PlayStation 3 platform.

Payday: The Heist received a major update on the PC platform, via Steam, which allowed players to pull off a job at the Mercy hospital from Valve’s popular Left 4 Dead game.

Now, Overkill and Sony have confirmed that PS3 owners will receive their own customized downloadable content pack next week, when the Wolfpack DLC is going to appear on the PlayStation Store.

The add-on brings two new heists, as well as all sorts of new things, including weapons, crew members, so Payday fans will be in for a major treat next week, when the expansion arrives on the PS Store.

"We’ve been busy casing some new jobs for you, with Wolfpack featuring two never-before-seen epic heists – Undercover and Counterfeit. The Undercover heist forces players to drive away the pesky police interrupting a back alley deal, while the Counterfeit heist pressures players to use silenced weapons to keep whistle-blowing civilians from escaping an underground money printing gig. If they tell the 5-0, they’ll blow the whole operation!"

"We’re also arming you with new weapons and crewmembers to ensure the job goes smoothly. These new heists require advanced skills, but award bigger payouts," Sony said about the DLC.

Quite a lot of big changes are included in the Wolfpack DLC for Payday: The Heist, so check them out in the list below:

- New Weapons: Spray some lead on the move with the all-new auto handgun and assault rifle, or blow away tenacious foes with the shiny new grenade launcher. Need someone to watch your back? Release the deployable sentry gun to take out your enemies.

- The Technician: Based on the character Wolf, the technician is a man who knows how to get things done. With a new skill set and equipment, the technician is a techno-sociopath using the sentry-gun and tool kit.

- One Pays, All Play: Got friends in high places? If you are tight on cash until the next score, all you need is a friend with the content. The new heists can only be hosted if you own the DLC, but anyone with the base game can join for free.

- Just When You Think You’re Out: With all-new Trophies and a raised level cap, there will be a lot more for you to brag about. The Wolfpack DLC for Payday: The Heist will come out on August 7, for the PlayStation 3, and costs $9.99/£6.49/€7.99/AU$12.95.
