Step into the murderous mind 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. In either case, the addition of a co-operative mode would certainly help to differentiate the game from its much-loved predecessor.Ĭheck out the trailer up top, or scroll down for the game's official press release.Ī brutal conclusion to the gruesome saga, Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number follows the escalating level of violence through multiple factions born from the events of the original game and driven by uncertain motivations. Likewise, a single-death ending play for both shooters would quickly become tiresome. If players were able to revive one another at will, then the title might become a little too easy. While the addition of another trigger-happy finger might help players escape a few unwanted spots, it's also difficult to tell just how Dennaton will go about integrating the feature. Whether this is simply an NPC ally - a kind of perk for donning a certain mask - or an actual live human partner remains to be seen, though the possibility of 2-player Hotline Miami 2 remains a mouth-watering prospect. While the 80-second video never explicitly confirms the feature, many sections do display a second character watching the player's back. Most interesting of all however, are the trailer's numerous allusions to co-operative play. Highlights include the new chainsaw tool (let's hope it can be thrown across the stage), as well as a screen-clearing dual-wield attack and a room-spanning quick roll maneuver. Today's all-new Hotline Miami 2 trailer offers a glimpse at this diverse and deadly cast in action, as well as some of their brand-new implements of destruction. First announced back in June of last year (word of the followup first appeared in November, 2012) Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number exchanges former protagonists Jacket and Biker for a slew of new and unfriendly faces.

Now, 18 months on from that initial success, the team at Dennaton Games is regrouping for a sequel. With its lightning quick encounters, fuzzy '80s charm and buckets upon buckets of 16-bit blood, Devolver Digital's gory story received a suitably warm reception from fans and critics alike. Few titles can touch Hotline Miami when it comes to uber-violent, visceral thrills.
