Square Enix and United Front Games have confirmed that they'll release five more downloadable content packs for their recent Sleeping Dogs game, which include new suits, weapons, vehicles, and adventures for protagonist Wei Shen.

Sleeping Dogs impressed quite a lot of gamers with its unique open world of Hong Kong and with the adventures of undercover cop Wei Shen, who needed to infiltrate the gruesome Triads in order to take down the criminal organizations.

Since its release in August, UFG and Square Enix have released multiple downloadable content packs, which added fresh suits, new weapons, and quite a few unique adventures for Wei Shen, including Nightmare in North Point, which allowed him to fight Asian Zombies using unique powers.

Now, the two companies have revealed that not one but five more DLC packs will be coming to Sleeping Dogs in the near future, including two that will go live tomorrow, February 5.

Wei Shen’s story continues in Year of the Snake as he re-joins the ranks of the Hong Kong Police Department in a series of new missions set immediately after the main game. A vicious end-of-the-world cult is taking root in the back streets of Hong Kong… the Cult of the Snake. Hell-bent on cleansing the city of its evils, they cannot be negotiated with as they pursue a path to their righteous salvation. With an arsenal of weapons, including teargas guns and electroshock pistols, new outfits and abilities, Wei must enter a race against the clock to bring the cultists to justice before Judgment Day.
