Square Announces Sleeping Dogs, Formerly Know As True Crime Hong Kong

[DoctorFinger]

True Crime Hong Kong is dead, long live Sleeping Dogs!

It's been an interesting year for the game formerly known as True Crime Hong Kong. It was canceled by publisher Activision at about this time last year, before being snatched up by Square Enix a few months later. Now it's been redubbed Sleeping Dogs (Square Enix acquired the game, but not the rights to the True Crime property) and has this snazzy new live action trailer. The trailer doesn't show a lick of actual gameplay, but it gives you a sense of what it will play like: a brutal and violent open world shooter. You play as Wei Shen, an undercover cop who has to infiltrate the most dangerous organized crime syndicate in the world: the Hong Kong Triads.

Look for Sleeping Dogs to drop late this year on the 360, PS3 & PC.
