On February 8, 2012, Square-Enix officially announced that development had been resumed, and that the game had been renamed Sleeping Dogs. However, because Square-Enix did not purchase the True Crime intellectual property, the game was forced to undergo a name change. The game was initially entitled True Crime, and then changed again to True Crime: Hong Kong.Īctivision cancelled the title a second time in February of 2011, and the game was subsequently picked up by Square-Enix, who made the announcement on August 1, 2011. The project was then restarted at United Front Games. The first attempt was developed at Luxoflux.
However, due to the poor critical reception and sales of the sequel True Crime: New York City, Activision aborted the development of the game twice. However, under the belief that their predominantly male target audience would not play such a game starring a woman, management demanded that the protagonist be replaced with a man, and further tied the previously-unrelated game into the True Crime franchise. Sleeping Dogs, in it's later stages developed at United Front Games and eventually published by Square-Enix, originally began life at Activision as Black Lotus, an open-world crime game with a female protagonist.
