Have a look at these screenshots from the upcoming gritty, open-world action game from Square Enix - Sleeping Dogs.

Set to be released later this year, this Hong Kong-based cop drama catapults players into the role of undercover cop Wei Shen, tasked with taking down one of the world’s most fearsome criminal organisations from the inside... the Hong Kong Triads. As players explore the bustling and crowded Hong Kong island, through its neon-lit side streets and sprawling street markets, a story of betrayal unfolds where Wei begins to question his own motives. Okay, so it may not be the most original of premises, but, IT'S A NEW IP! High tens all round.

“From the moment you pick up the controller and experience the blend of driving, close combat and shooting you know you’re playing something fresh and a bit special,” said Lee Singleton, General Manager of Square Enix London Studios. “Sleeping Dogs has one of the best melee combat systems out there – it’s super brutal with devastating takedown moves, and when added to UFG’s proven heritage in driving games, a first class story and the vibrant backdrop of the Hong Kong underworld we get a fiery recipe with fun written all over it.”

Sleeping Dogs is due for release later this year for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
