The 2012 title Sleeping Dogs was well received and recently remastered in a definitive edition for next-gen platforms. The open world game put you in the shoes of an undercover Hong Kong detective in his attempts to bring down the corrupt organizations in his city. It was great and the clamor for more titles like that was heard loud and clear.

Square Enix listened and in September announced Triad Wars, a new Hong Kong underworld MMO title. An MMU? Massively Multiplayer Underworld, then? We'll find something that makes it work. It might not be the sequel to Sleeping Dogs, but who needs that when they're tossing you into a huge environment where anything goes? Make your own story!
Needless to say, when I heard that, I immediately thought of storming some Hong Kong high rise a la The Raid. Anything is possible in an open world title.

Triad Wars was announced back in September. Your objective is simple: "rise to power as a criminal kingpin of the Triad underworld."
You will look good doing it, too. The game will let you conquer the underworld utilizing many skills, from all out brawling, to driving, hacking, money laundering, smuggling, if it's illegal, chances are you can do it.
Triad Wars will be out in 2015 on PC platforms, though no specific date has been released. Interested fans can still sign up for the Beta via the Official Site.
