14 DAY TRIAL // Square Enix has posted the full details behind the downloadable content packs that will be released this October for Sleeping Dogs, ranging from free to premium add-ons, and has revealed that the first story-driven expansion will be announced during October’s New York Comic Con.
Sleeping Dogs delighted fans of the open-world action genre last month by delivering an intense experience set in Hong Kong, letting players drive cars and other vehicles, while infiltrating the city’s seedy underbelly and its dangerous Triads.
Now, Square Enix has revealed that the team at United Front Games is working on a variety of new content for the game, with not one but four different add-ons being scheduled to appear in October.
There are three premium packs and a special Community Gift add-on that will be available for free as a token of appreciation for fans. Check out the full details about all of them below.
Street Racer Pack Delve deeper into the underground world of street racing with the adrenaline-fuelled Street Racer Pack. Three lucrative new races await across the streets and waterways of Hong Kong island: Kamikaze, a race up and down the winding tracks of the city’s Victoria Peak; Cross Island Enduro, an epic endurance motorcycle race; and the high-speed Harbor Run boat race. The Street Racer Pack comes complete with a new Sting superbike, a Dragon Helmet and a Racing Jacket with extra protection against gun fire.
SWAT Pack
Patrol the streets of Hong Kong in an armored van and respond to multiple emergency situations across the city in the SWAT Pack. Kit yourself out in a full-bodied Super-SWAT Tactical Uniform and withstand twice as much damage. Plough into fugitive vehicles with the armored SWAT van and use it for cover as you take down armed robbers, drug runners, smugglers, and resolve hostage situations.
Tactical Soldier Pack
Command authority as you dominate the streets with the Tactical Soldier Pack. Prepare to take on all that Hong Kong throws your way, fully equipped with the strongest armor and most destructive weapon in the game. The Assault Rifle from ‘The Funeral’ and ‘Civil Discord’ missions (with its under-barrel grenade launcher) will be readily available at each of your apartments alongside the Tactical Outfit, the game’s most powerful personal protection. Always accessible, grab them whenever you feel the need to unleash a display of force.
Community Gift Pack
Specially prepared by the development team at UFG, from us to you 100% free of charge. What’s more, Square Enix has confirmed that UFG will announce the first story-driven DLC for Sleeping Dogs next month, during the New York Comic Con, so look forward to hearing more about the game’s post-release fate in the near future.
