'They collect masks and get phone calls – and that will be in there, but we don't want to make the same game one more time. 'They symbolize the players that want Hotline Miami 2 to be exactly like Hotline Miami 1,' he said. The Fans really are the fans, Wedin said. That trailer begins with the disclaimer, 'Based on true events,' because it's for a horror film within the Hotline Miami universe, where these vigilante rampages truly did go down.
The Pig Butcher starred in an early trailer for Hotline Miami, and he's a throwback to the mass murderers of classic '90s slasher movies.
In a demo at E3, one half of Dennaton Games, Denis Wedin, showed off two new, playable characters in Wrong Number: the Pig Butcher and the Fans. More characters, more emphasis on narrative, more enemies, more weapons, more underground electronica bands, more masks and more ladies. In fact, it has everything that made Hotline Miami so brilliantly bloody – and then it adds more. Don't worry, Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number is just as violent as Hotline Miami.
