Only this time, instead of playing as Wei Shen through a much more focussed narrative, you\u2019re given the opportunity to carve your own path as an MMO.<\/p>\n<p>After being announced last September and having subsequently retreated back into hiding, <em>Triad Wars<\/em> is here to cause a fuss once more, to take control of the streets of Hong Kong.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZcA7r9zetGA\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>If <em>Triad Wars<\/em> is anything like <em>Sleeping Dogs<\/em>, it should make for a fairly decent MMO. Its combat was enjoyable, even if it was a tad repetitive; it maintained a believable, somewhat gripping atmosphere; and offered a number of activities to keep you occupied \u2013 these are all things that suit an MMO like <em>Triad Wars<\/em>. Unfortunately, for the moment at least,<em> Triad<\/em> <em>Wars<\/em> looks a little too much like <em>Sleeping Dogs<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Without quite a bit of improvement, <em>Triad Wars<\/em> will get tedious\u2026 and fast. Not only have we done it all before, but <em>Sleeping Dogs<\/em> was awfully tedious at times, and many of its bonus activities were uninventive and dull. For now, however, we\u2019ll give it the benefit of the doubt. You should too.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re willing to give <em>Triad Wars<\/em> a go, you can sign up for its beta <a href=\"https:\/\/playnow.triadwars.com\/landing\/tw?utm_source=YouTube&amp;utm_medium=None&amp;utm_term=None&amp;utm_content=None&amp;utm_campaign=TRW-00001SEA-YouTube-US-EN-PC-Own%20The%20Underworld%20Trailer-None\">here<\/a>. If not, you might as well check out some of its recently released artwork. It sure looks pretty.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Triad-Wars-Art-6.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large
