We aren’t really big on posting leaked footage of games—oh, who am I kidding, of course we are, especially when it’s cool and interesting—but 80 minutes of Hotline Miami 2 footage has been leaked out ahead of the game’s release, showcasing the game’s first two acts. And last I checked, cool and interesting are definitely ways to describe Hotline Miami 2.
There’s a lot of spoilery stuff within the footage, so be forewarned that you probably shouldn’t watch it if you intend on getting a pure, untainted experience with Hotline Miami 2 when the game is released. There’s also a short glimpse of the game’s level editor, which allows players to create their own missions and challenges.
The footage was leaked by YouTuber LennyReviews, whom I’m certain will be on a blacklist of some sort after pulling this stunt.
Hotline Miami 2 is due for release before the end of the year on PC, Mac, Linux, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation Vita.
Watch the footage below. Be sure to grab some popcorn—it’s lengthy!
