Square-Enix has announced Sleeping Dogs, a new "gritty, open-world cop drama" from developer United Front Games. Set in Hong Kong, it promises "intense shoot-outs, adrenaline-fuelled street races and intense, brutal martial arts combat". (So... pretty intense, then?)
The studio had been working on True Crime: Hong Kong for years before Activision canned it in 2011. Square-Enix picked up the pieces in August last year, and Square-Enix London has been supervising development since.
The announcement press release puts a lot of emphasis on the game's combat system, which promises martial-arts-inpsired hand-to-hand combat punctuated with cinematic finishers using environmental features like phone booths and refrigerator doors. The game casts you as an undercover cop, Wai Shen, investigating Hong Kong's criminal underworld.
It's out for PS3, 360 and PC in the second half of this year. You'll see more info on Sleeping Dogs as soon as we have it. The live-action announcement trailer is below.
