Sadly, Sleeping Dogs 2 never entered full production. It's worth remembering that these ideas are from the game's pre-production design document and may well have been scaled back had the game been officially greenlit. Most ambitious of all? UFG wanted to use "the cloud saves of all players to determine the global neighborhood crime levels across all games, and then mapping that crime to the difficulty level in policing those neighborhoods in the individual's games". Sleeping Dogs 2 would have also featured co-op play and a companion app where you could influence the main game's overworld by bringing in things like helicopters - which sounds like the original Watch Dogs. Epic high-speed thrills: Burn up the streets or tear up the sea in a vast array of exotic cars, superbikes and speedboats. Explosive action fueled by a seamless mix of deadly martial arts, intense gunfights and brutal takedowns. Wei Shen would also have a corrupt partner, Henry Fang, and action would play out from both points of view to tell stories which would only fully reveal themselves when you had played both sections. A mature and gritty undercover cop drama in which you risk blowing your cover at any time. We've heard of UFG's plans before, but Waypoint's new deep dive into the sequel's design document is by far the most detailed account yet of what Sleeping Dogs 2 might have been.įirst off, you'd have a big new open world and the return of Sleeping Dogs' main character Wei Shen, now based in China's Pearl River Megacity. We'll likely never see a Sleeping Dogs 2 now developer United Front Games has been shut down - but plans were once very much afoot for the open world crime drama to get a sequel.
