Even though I do not own a record player at this time, I am not too ashamed to admit that I own several soundtracks on vinyl. From the amazing retro-style tunes of games like Undertale or Celeste to some newer franchises such as Persona 5 – the video game scene offers many works with soundtracks that deserve to be immortalised on the big records. And soon, the Hotline Miami 1 & 2 games will be joining that list.
Devolver Digital, Donnaton Games and Laced Records have today announced that a 10th anniversary of the “iconically brutal-yet-stylish” Hotline Miami 1 & 2 will be receiving an 8LP box set. The collection, fully titled the Hotline Miami 1 & 2: The Complete Collection, is available to pre-order in multiple variants. The Laced Store features an exclusive limited edition featuring teal-galaxy effect MPs, and a Standard Edition with black discs which will be available via other third party retailers as well. The Devolver Store will also have a limited edition of its own, featuring neon yellow and pink discs.
According to those involved:
Every in-game track from Hotline Miami and Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number is present and correct, including Castanets’ “You Are The Blood” (not previously available via the HM2 Steam soundtrack release.) 76 tracks remastered for vinyl will be pressed to heavyweight LPs that come in spined inner sleeves, contained in a rigid board lift-off lid box with spot UV highlight.
The box set features brand new eye-exploding artwork by long-time Dennaton collaborator Niklas Åkerblad — aka El Huervo aka Beard — alongside illustrator -IZMA-. El Huervo’s grisly covers depict contradictory accounts of a berserk face-off between Jacket and Biker, replete with entrails. -IZMA-’s disc sleeves explore scenes from the series’ lore, tapping into the violence, psychedelia and nihilism that pervade its characters and themes.
Not interested in the music but keen on getting some other Hotline Miami merch? Devolver Digital has confirmed other offerings will be available via their online store in the coming months.
