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.

ReynardFox: Is anyone getting a 404 when trying to view the gamecard? Or is this what happens now when I try to access blocked content?
Welcome to regional locking. I can see both editions just fine.

I'm so embarrassed for my country over this ridiculous ban. We fought so long to even get an adult 18 Rating but it still doesn't stop the bans. We have to keep fighting to be treated like actual adults who can make their own choices. It's very frustrating and easy to be dispirited.

Anyway, GOG made the right decision here, I think. Don't let my country's idiocy affect the rest of you.

Wait, what both editions ? There's two ?




EDIT: Aw fuck, I bought the cheaper one :/ The other only has extra music, right ? I'm not missing out on anything important ?

Apparently if you're in Australia, you're restricted from even viewing screenshots of the game.

Have you found a proper IP geolocation method, so the poor New Zealanders aren't punished just because the Australians keep electing idiot politicians?
Wut?
How's this one banned in Austria (iran/iraq, what's the difference?) and LUME gets exposed in a museum?
OUTRAGEOUS! :p

Jokes aside, that sucks.
Gotta remember when Duke 3d was banned in Brazil and, still, you could find the game legally (and illegally) everywhere.

ps: I love both HM and Lume :D

ps2: things could be worse, fellow austrians...

Aaaaaawwww! For FUCK'S SAKE, Dennaton/Devolver, not that bullshit regional pricing from you guys, I didn't think you were like that.

Guess I'll just pirate the game instead of preordering then... :/

edit: oh and regional "locking". Aussie gov's fault there. GOG shouldn't take the eventual flack for going against it nor the people wanting to buy the game (if they want to play that regional pricing BS that is).

Just music as it seems. There will be an upgrade when the game is released.

Where's the option to upgrade the basic version ?

They get away with so much shit. It does not surprise me they don't obey their own laws they made.

Klumpen0815: @Australia: Get your artistic freedom straight.
Good one, coming from a German! :D
While I agree with the reasoning as such, it seems wrong when there are other games here which were also refused classification (e.g. Magna Cum Laude).

Or did Australia retroactively allow those games being sold when they introduced the 18+ rating?
