It's so sad this game was forgotten by the devs

[Steven Chilton]

I genuinely believe this is one of the best open world sandbox games and it's so sad that we will never see sleeping dogs 2, not sure why either it seemed to sell well enough. It has a great story with awesome gameplay and an amazing open world. I've played through it atleast 3 or 4 times on pc and console and it's just always so fun. Now maybe it just perfectly fits my tastes but nothing since has really captured this same feeling and i'm not sure why it was abandoned.

The studio shut down in 2016. Pretty sure a sequel was planned, or at least talks of it was going around, but the studio went down before anything could be realized.

A sequel, essentially an open world/MMO game replicant of GTA was in the works. it went into alpha but then shut down. Shame, would've been a great game.

I agree with OP, Sleeping dogs was the first game I achieved 100%

I hope that one day the project will come back to life

The original pitch for the sequel sounded really intersting, but I wonder if it could be done after so much time.

Yes read about that. Think it was called Triad wars.

The company that created the game is closed(
United Front Games), I think it was because of that online version of sleeping dogs (Triad Wars) that failed. It's a shame that instead of doing it online, they didn't do Sleeping Dogs 2...

It is sad, indeed, but that's life in the creative industry. Basically 90% never get funded. Of those that do get the money round, 90% are garbage.
Of the 10% of the 10% , it will probably be ignored if it's not a cash-cow (BG3)
This would have been a great game for an expansion or MMO treatment, but it ain't never ever gonna happen. Enjoy the game, II's equal parts fabulous and frustrating, and THREE FRAKKIN DOLLARS
This is the "Steal Deal" of the week.

Triad Wars wasn't a good game, i played it in beta. The good: you got to create your own character and it used the same Hong Kong map from Sleeping Dogs.
But the MMO was flimsy... you didn't actually play realtime with other players on the same map. The whole premise was you'd pick a predetermined spot to setup your HQ. You could then eventually add rackets to start making money. Whenever you logged in, one of those other HQ spots would randomly load another players which then you could raid . When you raided another players HQ, you could disrupt whatever rackets they had going and even takedown their player character (i think you could only raid 5 other players until having to waiting out a cooldown). Then when you logged in again, you'd just get an update on how many times someone else tried to raid you and gain/lose face accordingly. There was also cards you'd win by doing missions that would give you various buffs for raiding, or defending (again, since you never interacted with other players realtime). Those cards could also be purchased with gold bars.... also purchasable with real money. On paper... sounds kinda cool... but it was a mess and definitely not what the fans where looking for.
