Payday: The Heist and Left 4 Dead often draw comparisons to each other due to their group-based shooter gameplay. It looks like the two universes will collide, because developer Overkill Entertainment has revealed that there will be a crossover of sorts between the two franchises down the road.

“We are excited to be able to confirm that an in-depth collaboration between Overkill and Valve is currently in production,” said Overkill’s Ulf Anderson. “We are working on a very cool blend of Payday and Left 4 Dead. I am sure it is so exciting that it will have some players check into the hospital before we are done.”

According to VG24/7, Overkill is also planning a sequel to Payday, so that should be exciting for fans of the game. It looks like there are some long-term plans for the series, and this collaboration is certainly a promising starting point for the future of the IP. Here’s hoping the two developers can create one compelling world where both franchises fit seamlessly and provide gamers with some intense action.

Also, the prospect of bank-robbing thugs and flesh-eating zombies all in the same game just seems really cool.
