As you saw in the above video, the level editor was announced to come along with the game for its release. Though, Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number saw the light of the day on March 10, 2015, and the editor was promised to be added sometime later.

Hotline Miami 2 Level Editor Update
The Hotline Miami 2 level editor is taking a bit longer than expected but know that we are hard at work on it to make it spectacular. Can't wait to share it with you all and thanks for your support!

And finally, after one year and a quarter, the editor has left Beta status.

Though, the developers have warned about the possibility of bugs:
QuoteIf you experience any issues with this latest update, please report them in the pinned Bug Report Thread in the Level Editor forum. Additionally; should the latest update cause serious new issues on your machine, we have also set the previous build (v1.05) live on the 'no_editor' branch. Use that to opt-out of the editor update while we look for a solution to the problem.

Therefore, if you're into creating new content for games you like, you can start "hurting other people" in your own levels right now. Who knows, you might end up being the creator of the (unofficial) third episode of the saga...

QuoteThank you so much for your patience and help over the extended development of the level editor. Without your passion, help, and feedback this would not have been possible. Now please go make Hotline Miami 3!

PSA: after updating to the new version on Steam, my progress on the campaign was lost. Needed to revert to the previous version (through the "no editor beta" in the beta tab) to get it back. Not sure if you can do the same with GOG/Humble versions if you happen to have the same problem.
