Runnin' around robbin' banks

Parking in the middle of the road is not the best idea
In an official press release today, Codemasters has announced the development of a new third-person action game titled HEI$T. So why the dollar sign? Because it's all about relieving old ladies of their purses and robbing banks.

HEI$T allows gamers to become the leader of a group of renegade criminals as they rob and steal their way throughout San Francisco, all the while their sites set on the big score – the Mint. It's 1969, the summer of love in San Francisco. Enter Johnny Sutton, fresh out of jail and a descendant from a long line of big-time thieves, including his father who was gunned down during a job some years back. Playing as Johnny, and together with his Uncle Sal and reunited crew, players are set to pull off dozens of heists that will inevitably make a name for him as the greatest bank robber of all time.

- Official Press Release

While you'll spend a lot of time working towards the big score in HEI$T, you'll have to perform smaller jobs in order to purchase the correct tools to circumvent security in the large banks. These small jobs include a wide variety of locations, where you can knock over restaurants, bars, strip joints and armoured cars, all in the name of preparing your crew for the big score. With all this stealing going on, you'll also find yourself driving Bullit-style in an aim to get away from the fuzz as they will bump, ram, form barricades and do just about anything in order to catch you.

While there is not a set date for HEI$T to screech into retailers, be sure to visit the official website and sign up for more information and the first screenshots of the game.
