Written by Brandon Hofer on August 06, 2014

News: Amazon has just “leaked” information about Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition coming to Xbox One and PS4 later this year.

There have been a lot of “remastered” and “definitive” editions of games hitting the Xbox One and PS4 recently and it looks like that trend isn’t going anywhere. According to an Amazon listing that has just been put up, Sleeping Dogs is one of the next games that will be making a jump to Xbox One and PS4. Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition. According to the listing on Amazon it will be available for $59.99 and will come out on October 14, 2014. Square Enix has yet to confirm the existence of this edition, however, as we have seen in the past, when something is “leaked” on Amazon it usually turns out to be true. They are even offering a pre-order bonus to receive the limited edition artbook packaging. Get an insider’s look at 28 pages of concept art that inspired the game’s visual direction and art style.

Sleeping Dogs catapults players into the role of undercover cop Wei Shen, tasked with taking down one of the world’s most fearsome criminal organisations from the inside... the Hong Kong Triads. As players explore the bustling and crowded Hong Kong island, through its neon-lit side streets and sprawling street markets, an incredible story unfolds of loyalty and betrayal, where Wei begins to question his own motives as he is sucked in deeper than he could ever imagine.

“From the moment you pick up the controller and experience the blend of driving, close combat and shooting you know you’re playing something fresh and a bit special,” said Lee Singleton, General Manager of Square Enix London Studios. “Sleeping Dogs has one of the best melee combat systems out there – it’s super brutal with devastating takedown moves, and when added to UFG’s proven heritage in driving games, a first class story and the vibrant backdrop of the Hong Kong underworld we get a fiery recipe with fun written all over it.”

Offering players an island packed with action, every street corner, market stall, harbor dock or city skyscraper can become an opportunity for intense shoot-outs, adrenaline-fuelled street races and intense, brutal martial arts combat. Sleeping Dogs empowers players to perform an extensive set of martial arts moves, singlehandedly taking on numerous opponents. Players perform bone-crunching kicks and combos, vicious counters and a cinematic set of environmental takedowns making use of countless real-world items from circular saws to phone booths, incinerators to refrigerator doors.
