William Saw — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 12:43:55 +0000

Last year, we reported that True Crime: Hong Kong’s production at United Front Games was cancelled by Activision. In August, the game was picked up by Square Enix and continued development under the supervision of Square Enix London studio. Per the agreement, Square Enix picked up the tab for the development, not the True Crime franchise. It’s been a while since we’ve last heard of the game, however today we finally see the reveal of Sleeping Dogs, same game but different name. We have the first screenshots and a live-action trailer.

Sleeping Dogs is expected for release in the second half of 2012 for PC, Xbox 360, and PS3. Players take on the role of Wei Shen, an undercover cop tasked with taking down the world’s fearsome criminal organizations. Promising martial arts, gun-play, and environmental takedowns, you might as well take it as your quintessential Hong Kong action flick.

“Working on Sleeping Dogs has been such a huge passion for the team at United Front Games and we’re really pleased to be working with Square Enix London Studios,” said Stephen Van Der Mescht, executive producer at United Front Games. “The extensive experience that both studios have in creating compelling open world gameplay and rich, rewarding combat makes for a perfect partnership. Working together we’re ensuring Sleeping Dogs is the most intense and immersive game it can be.”
