A haze of neon carnage.



<span class="bold">Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number</span>, a conclusion to the psychotic saga, is now available to pre-order for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux, DRM-free on GOG.com with a 10% discount.

Limbs strewn everywhere, pulsating to the rhythmic thumping of a haunting (hauntingly good) mixtape. <span class="bold">Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number</span> is a conclusion to the maddeningly good saga that's conquered so many of our hearts, then left them bleeding out in the corner of a musty motel room. A quiet end, we should count ourselves lucky. Should have, because Hotline Miami is back with a thick, bloody vengeance. If there is one thing to love about the series (other than than the incredible soundtrack and gritty neon-laced setting), it's the precise, fast-paced gameplay which just got better and a bit more varied. There are new unique mask abilities like dual wielding or chainsaws (maybe dual-wielding chainsaws, if we're lucky), and seven new playable characters to make up this twisted part-prequel, part-sequel story of Jacket's aftermath.

If there was ever a good reason to pick up the bigger package, the <span class="bold">Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number Digital Special Edition</span> comes with the Remix EP and 6 unique tracks. An absolute treat, if you're into the Hotline musical stylings. Nothing's lost if you don't want to make the commitment just yet. You can always get the standard edition, and get the upgrade pack when it becomes available later on.

Once it's complete, all versions of the game will also come with a DRM-free Custom Level Editor to create your own maps and share them with friends. While you're waiting, make sure to grab the Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number Digital Comics for free!



Ring ring. It's <span class="bold">Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number</span>. Will you pick up? The pre-order is available now on GOG.com, with a 10% discount.











Why is Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number not available for pre-order in Australia?
Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number was refused classification by the Australian Classification Board - the classification and censorship body formed by the Australian Government - this means that we are legally unable to sell the game to our Australian customers. We hated to hear it as much as you do, but after thoughtful consideration we felt that by refusing to sell the game worldwide, we would effectively apply the Australian censorship to 190+ other countries in the world. That would be unfairly punishing not just to our customers, but also the developers who took a stand against censoring their game.
By preventing purchases from IP's located within the borders of Australia, we make sure that the smallest number of people are affected by the ban. It sucks, but we believe it's the least of all evils.

Awesome news!

Be sure not to miss HOTLINE MIAMI 2: WRONG NUMBER - DIGITAL COMICS, which is FREE! :-)
Wow! First regionally restricted game on GOG!
Is it possible for the game to be gifted to Australian members?
Oh yeah, shitstorm incoming! :o)
I really enjoyed the first and the second looks good but not for a tenner!
I'd just like a blue-text confirmation that there will be no restrictions on gifting Hotline Miami 2 to anyone, so long as the actual purchaser's IP isn't Australian.
Prepare yourself GOG.

yyahoo: Wow! First regionally restricted game on GOG!
Regionally restricted? What does this mean? Some regions in the world can´t buy it?
Well, despite what many can (and will) say, this time I completely agree with GOG's reasoning:

[...] we felt that by refusing to sell the game worldwide, we would effectively apply the Australian censorship to 190+ other countries in the world. That would be unfairly punishing not just to our customers, but also the developers who took a stand against censoring their game.
Can't really argue with that.

I can only sympathize with Australians on how revolting censorship is -in Italy now there is almost none on videogames, but until not so long ago we had to live with thet kind of crap, too, and we still experience some (legally questionable episodes) on other media- yet the last thing I want is to grant censors a world-wide victory, like it would happen if GOG refused to sell the game to treat equally treat its customers.
What if the ACB decided that half of the already existing catalogue didn't meet their standards, too? Should the games just be removed?
Hopefully, one day Australians will get rid of those lunatics.

Edit: Despite what I said, I hope this will not set a precedent for free regioanl locking, like many companies like to do. Then I would be *really* pissed.

It means that the game won't be available for purchase by Australian users.
Preordered.
"Saga"?

Yup, see the bottom of the announcement. It's unavailable to be purchased on GOG for those in Australia.
Bottom line - Hotline Miami is great, the Australian government is chock full of idiots and cowards who probably piss themselves over every shadow, and GOG's stuck in the middle.
