Meanwhile, a live-action film adaptation of the game is currently in production, with Donnie Yen set to portray officer Wei Shen. Sleeping Dogs still could release, if its publisher, Squire Enix planned to develop a sequel. Now, we will never see a second Sleepings Dogs because the game’s developers, United Front officially closed down. Fans called it a PS3-era Grand Theft Auto clone. Sleepings Dogs was released for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. In the sequel, following the events of Sleeping Dogs, officer Wei Shen would explore China’s Pearl River Delta along with a corrupt partner Henry Fang. The plans for the sequel of Sleeping Dogs were impressive, as it was going to be the first ambitious game of United Front. Other than completing missions, you can freely roam in the game’s world, set in contemporary Hong Kong, and perform legal and even illegal activities.
Shen’s main abilities include hand-to-hand combat, parkour, and amazing shooting skills. With the completion of the mission, new contents are unlocked and new abilities are developed. A player takes the role of the police officer and they have to complete missions to go on with the missions. Sleeping Dogs follows the storyline of an undercover police officer Wei Shen, who infiltrates the Sun On Yee Triad organization. They reportedly tried to make an enjoyable free-to-play mobile game, that would interact with the main game. But the developers abandoned the sequel’s plans even before it went into early production.
The details of the storyline and the game’s setting were also revealed, in the following months.
There were a few reports back in 2013, citing that the developer - United Front - was working on a sequel. These expansion packs were released as downloadable content within six months of release. Following the release, the game also received several upgrades, new missions, new outfits for the game’s characters, and the three expansion packs. The game reportedly sold over 1.5 million copies in just the opening year. When Sleeping Dogs released back in 2012, the action-adventure received positive reviews from the gamers and critics.
