Square Enix London Studios, part of Square Enix Europe, has announced Sleeping Dogs, a gritty and unbridled police drama set in the vibrant city of Hong Kong. Sleeping Dogs is being developed by United Front Games in collaboration with renowned developers at Square Enix London Studios.

Sleeping Dogs puts players in the role of undercover cop Wei Shen, tasked with dismantling one of the world's most feared criminal organizations from the inside out... the Hong Kong Triads. As players explore the bustling and overcrowded island of Hong Kong, with its neon-lit backstreets and sprawling street markets, a fantastical tale of loyalty and betrayal unfolds, drawing Wei deeper into the situation than he ever imagined, and questioning his own motives. With an island teeming with action, every street corner, stall, dock, and city skyscraper is an opportunity to experience wild gunfights, adrenaline-fueled street racing, and intense, brutal martial arts combat.

Sleeping Dogs features some of the most intuitive and imaginative combat systems, allowing players to perform a wide variety of martial arts strikes and holds to take on a variety of opponents. Players can use painful kicks and combos, merciless counterattacks, and a cinematic set of finishing moves that utilize a myriad of environmental objects, from circular saws to phone booths, from incinerators to refrigerator doors.
