about the project
After working together on Hotline Miami, Devolver Digital and Dennaton Games decided to extend our collaboration and get Abstraction Games on board right from the start. We further developed our in-house technology that allows maximum creative freedom for Dennaton, while ensuring a simultaneous and smooth launch across all platforms. With our help, the Hotline community is now also exploring their own creative freedom via the Hotline editor with integrated Steam Workshop support.
about the game
Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number propels players back into the neon-infused world of high stakes violence and surreal storytelling that defined its predecessor. Expanding on the original's fast-paced, top-down shooter gameplay, it introduces a broader narrative spanning multiple characters, each with their own perspectives and motivations. Set against the backdrop of escalating violence and retribution in Miami's criminal underworld, players must navigate through challenging levels with precision and strategic planning.
The game's signature style—a pulsating soundtrack, vivid visuals, and a visceral approach to combat—pushes the envelope of intensity. Hotline Miami 2 explores the dark consequences of its characters' actions, offering a complex, intertwined story that questions the glamorization of violence while delivering an unforgiving, addictive gameplay experience.
