  • Hotline Miami 2 Officially Announced, Teaser Trailer Released

    Last year, an indie game called Hotline Miami took the gaming world by storm. The game ended up on many best-of 2012 lists for its fast-paced ultra-violent gameplay and its mesmerizing 80s soundtrack.

    At E3 last week, while Sony and Microsoft were firing the first shots of console war 2013, rumors surfaced that a sequel to Hotline Miami was being shown discretely somewhere at the show. Now, Dennaton Games has officially announced the title.

    Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number will once again put players in the shoes of a murderer. The developer and publisher Devolver Digital are calling the sequel an “epic finale” to the original Hotline Miami. From the announcement:

    Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number commands you to step into the murderous minds of several distinct characters – each with their own motivations and methods of execution – as storylines intersect and reality slips away into a haze of neon and carnage. Witness hundreds of new sprites and animations in lush new areas to clear floor-by-floor, and harness a variety of savage new weapons to satisfy your murder lust.

    The game will be released sometime this year for PC, Mac and Linux. A teser trailer released today shows that Wrong Number maintains the pixel-y art style of the previous game. It also teases plenty of blood and ultra-violence:

  • Hotline Miami Headed to PlayStation 3, Vita With Cross-Buy

    Devolver Digital and Dennaton Games today announced that Hotline Miami will be coming to the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita consoles.

    A specific release date has not been announced, but the game will be hitting Sony’s consoles sometime this spring. No pricing information has been released either, though it has been announced that the title will be “Cross-Buy.” That means players can buy the game once on either the PS3 or PS Vita and play it on both systems.

    Hotline Miami is an ultra-violent 2-D action game that tasks players with carrying out massacres. It graced many 2012 best-of lists due to its fast-paced gameplay, bizarre style, and 80s soundtrack.

    “The Devolver Digital team is hyped to see Hotline Miami hit PS3 and PS Vita,” said Fork Parker, Devolver Digital CFO. “However, this Cross-Buy thing might prohibit me from achieving my long-standing dream of wearing a gold plated PS Vita around my neck. Total bummer.”
