On the official United Front Games website, the developer issued a cheerful statement in which they announced the development of Triad Wars.

Triad Wars is a new game set in the same universe as 2012’s Sleeping Dogs. While technically not a direct sequel, we can probably expect to see some familiar themes or characters from the original game. United Front Games also confirmed that they are working with publisher Square-Enix again on this title.

“Hi everyone! We’ve been a bit tight-lipped about our current projects over here at UFG, but we’re finally able to give you a little something.

So, we’re making a new game! We can’t say a lot about it right now, but you might have read about a trademark registration for something called Triad Wars? Well, we’re super-excited that it’s another game based in the Sleeping Dogs universe, it’s something we’ve wanted to do for ages, and we’re very happy to be working with Square Enix again… but that’s all we can give you for the time being – we’ll have more information about what the game’s going to be in 2014.

As always, we love to hear your thoughts and appreciate your shared interest in the games we make – although to reiterate, we really can’t share any more details until 2014 (despite your best efforts to get them, you sneaky people!)”
