Overview
Description

Sleeping Dogs is an open‑world action adventure set in a vibrant, living Hong Kong. Players assume the role of Wei Shen, an undercover officer infiltrating the city's most powerful triad. The game blends intense hand‑to‑hand combat, high‑speed vehicle chases, and a gritty narrative, delivering a cinematic experience that rivals blockbuster crime dramas.

Sgt Mitchell returns to the MET's Organised Crime Squad, launching his first shift with a dawn raid that spirals into a city‑wide battle against suspicion, ruthless new gangs, and the most powerful man in London. Over the next 48 hours, his choices will shape the fate of the squad and the streets they protect. Meanwhile, amateur boxer Eddie O'Conner finds himself in a deadly fallout after a botched bank job. With his crew wiped out and only a teenage hacker named Sam by his side, Eddie must navigate a treacherous underworld to survive and settle the score.
