Sleeping Dogs 2 would have also featured co-op play and a companion app where you could influence the main game's overworld by bringing in things like helicopters - which sounds like the original Watch Dogs. Wei Shen would also have a corrupt partner, Henry Fang, and action would play out from both points of view to tell stories which would only fully reveal themselves when you had played both sections. We've heard of UFG's plans before, but Waypoint's new deep dive into the sequel's design document is by far the most detailed account yet of what Sleeping Dogs 2 might have been.įirst off, you'd have a big new open world and the return of Sleeping Dogs' main character Wei Shen, now based in China's Pearl River Megacity. We'll likely never see a Sleeping Dogs 2 now developer United Front Games has been shut down - but plans were once very much afoot for the open world crime drama to get a sequel.
