“Loyalty and discretion… watch words of the Sun On Yee, one of Hong Kong’s most brutal Triad gangs. It’s the attitude which makes them strong, the attitude which makes them feared. Getting in will be the hard part, keeping alive even harder.”
Sleeping Dogs, formerly known as True Crime: Hong Kong before Square-Enix took the development helm from Activision, will put players in the role of detective Wei Shen – who is going under cover to take down the Triad organization, Sun On Yee.
Shen infiltrates the criminal organization, but struggles to strike the balance between doing his job as a detective – and being swept away in the criminal acts he performs to protect his cover.
In terms of gameplay, Sleeping Dogs will combine melee combat, shooting and driving – presented in cinematic third-person action.
Check out the trailer below, which explores the story more in-depth, and gives us a look at what we can expect from the game when it launches later this year on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.
