But the fans worldwide have spoken, blogged, shoutcasted and tweeted, enthusiastically proclaiming that the Hotline Miami 2 vinyl set has delivered the goods. The soundtrack for the first Hotline Miami was a big pair of Reebok Pumps to fill. Even while working their butts off to finish the game, Dennaton kindly and carefully curated the tracks that would go on the vinyl, and their friend and excellent artist, Niklas Åkerblad, worked diligently on the album design.

When we started discussing the vinyl design with Dennaton Games, we had one specific goal in mind: Let’s make the most BADASS vinyl set possible. Music is such an integral part of the Hotline Miami experience. Even a year out from release, the hype for the game was already palpable.

At that time, we were already huge fans of Hotline Miami and couldn’t shake the urge to collaborate on something special for the release of the sequel. We met Devolver Digital at last year’s SXSW Gaming Convention in Austin.
