Team Fortress 2 map, Kong King, has been detailed by Valve. It’s the King of the Hill map which will be released for everyone who plays the game, regardless of whether they pre-ordered Sleeping Dogs through Steam or not. It’s the first time a city-themed map has been added to the game, and it was created in collaboration with Sleeping Dogs and community member Valentin Levillain. Sleeping Dogs is out August 14 on PC, PS3, and Xbox 360.

Square Enix has released a new video which details a few of the special features exclusive to the PC version of Sleeping Dogs.

Hit the link for a watch.

Believe it or not, Sleeping Dogs isn’t all shoving people’s heads through fish tanks, air conditioning vents, toilets and stove tops; you’ll have to do some police work, too. This walkthrough video shows Wei on the trail of a serial killer.

Valve is running one of its famous cross-promotions for United Front Games’ Hong Kong action epic, Sleeping Dogs. Pre-ordering the open-world action fest on Steam (at 10% off, no less) before August 14 will net you eight free items, including one which reverses enemy building construction. Oh, I know some veterans whose eyebrows just hit the ceiling over that. Sleeping Dogs arrives in mid-August on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Square Enix has launched a new promotional website for United Front’s open-world Hong Kong action epic Sleeping Dogs, the Night Market. According to CVG, which apparently helped produce the website, the site includes “an Easter egg treasure, teasers, pre-order bonuses and DLC details, plus an exclusive Takedown video for you to unlock showcasing some of the game’s most brutal finishing moves”, but I couldn’t solve the puzzle so whatevs. Other content includes videos on racing and combat, faction profiles, and a Ryan Wick remix video of The Game’s No More Fun and Games. Sleeping Dogs hits PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in mid-August – just two more weeks to wait.

Got an hour? You do now that I’ve told you it could be spent watching unadulterated Sleeping Dogs footage.

We knew United Front Games had brought UFC champion George St-Pierre in to help with the development of Sleeping Dogs, but we didn’t know just how involved the martial artist was. In a new behind the scenes video courtesy of IGN, St-Pierre is shown going through animations with key development staff, tweaking small details and even play-fighting with them to brainstorm ideas. It’s pretty neat and partially explains why the combat in Sleeping Dogs feels so awesome. The open-world action epic hits in August for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

We’ve received a release schedule confirming that Sleeping Dogs will launch in Australia on August 16, for PC PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. While we hadn’t heard anything to suggest this wouldn’t be the case, the game’s violent trailers raised some concerns that it might not make it past the Classification Board’s content guidelines – but there it is, with an MA15+ sticker for “strong violence, crime themes, coarse language and sexual references”. The open-world Hong Kong action epic hits the US on August 14 and arrives in Europe on August 17.

With the August release of open world Hong Kong-em-up Sleeping Dogs fast approaching, producer Dan Sochan talks about the game’s key features and how splitting with Activision affected the game’s development.
