A new story-based expansion is coming, alongside other DLCs

Square Enix and United Front Games have just confirmed three new downloadable content packs that will soon be released for their recent Sleeping Dogs game, including the second story-based add-on called Zodiac Tournament.

Sleeping Dogs came out back in August and delivered a pretty impressive open-world experience that focused on undercover cop Wei Shen as he tried to take down the Hong Kong triads.

After releasing plenty of bonus content for the game, as well as the first story-based DLC, in the form of Nightmare in North Point, developer UFG and publisher Square Enix have confirmed three new add-ons for the game.

The first is the Zodiac Tournament Pack, which adds a brand new island off the coast of Hong Kong, where Wei Shen will participate in different fighting competitions.

Besides this story-based add-on, two other DLCs will came out in the near future, in the form of the Drunken Fist one, which adds a drunken fighting style, and a Gangland Style one, which allows Wei Shen to get certain tattoos that augment his abilities.

Check out the descriptions of these add-ons below, via CVG.

Zodiac Tournament Pack: Join Wei Shen for the fight of his life in the second gameplay-extending add-on pack.
