Sleeping Dogs Sequel - Enemy Slime

Sleeping Dogs Sequel

Sequel to hit game in the works, surprising everyone.

News

United Front Games, responsible for last year’s Sleeping Dogs – An open world crime game that saw you playing as an undercover cop deep in Hong Kong’s underworld – has announced a sequel in partnership with Square Enix called “Triad Wars.”

This comes as a bit of a surprise, as Square-Enix claimed they were unhappy with their trifecta of western published games, Sleeping Dogs, Hitman: Absolution and Tomb Raider, even though the latter two sold quite well and Sleeping Dogs sold a respectable amount of copies. So why were they so disappointed? Because none of those games made the same numbers as Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, an incredibly high bar seeing as how it was one of the best selling games in one of the best selling franchises of all time.

Square-Enix later admitted their expectations were “a bit high” (which I would call an understatement) and said Sleeping Dogs could grow into a strong IP, so it’s nice to see they’re giving Sleeping Dogs another “shot”, emphasis on the quotation marks as I fondly remember it as one of my better open world experiences.
