Recently, we've covered details on Sleeping Dogs' DLC packs for this month, as well as the specific dates for these packs too. Just as these mentioned extras are about to hit the Marketplace today, United Front Games strike again with a surprise horror-themed DLC pack ready to keep us entertained just in time for halloween.

Announced at the New York Comic Con a few days ago, the upcoming "Nightmare in North Point" DLC is set to feature a unique mix of undead threats and Chinese mythology. After a gang member is beaten and tortured by the Triads and put to permanent rest, this brutally murdered man rises from the dead with an army of fellow sleepers to bring a whole new threat into the city of Hong Kong. The game's main man, Wei Shen, now has the responsibility of taking care of this large-scale undead threat and saving the city in the process.

The Verge got a preview of the action at the New York Comic Con panel itself as they eagerly watched United Front Games and Square Enix live to tell the tale of the "Nightmare in North Point". Here's some of the horrors these guys were unfortunate enough to see:

The developers presented a live demo of Nightmare in North Point in which Shen took on possessed members of the 18K Triad gang. Their eyes glow blue, and when they're killed, they disappear into the ground in a flash of green light. It's a good thing he now has lightning fists courtesy of some magical tea from an earlier mission. Shen also has to contend with Jiang Shi — Chinese vampires. For them, he has a peach wood sword. According to Chinese lore, such blades were used in Taoist exorcisms.

The "Nighmare in North Point" DLC expansion is set to release in just a couple of weeks on October 30th. A price is still yet to be confirmed.

.....Enough with the ****ing zombies/vampires!!!!!

Great that there will be some story dlc though.
 
It is a very good game, took many people by surprise when it came out. Basically a cross between GTA, Saints Row 3 and the Batman games. It has a surprisingly engaging story and the combat is excellent.
It is also well optimized, so it runs really well.

I would describe it as less serious than GTA(you know what I mean), but nowhere near as OTT as Saints Row....it strikes a good balance between the two really.

there is a demo on steam btw

Cheers for the info and I found it for £7 cheaper at shopto which I can then download from stream.
 
I would prefer more serious expansion, but I have trust in United Front that they will make this awesome. They deserve that after fantastic main game.

I bet it is Wei Shen is recruited as an actor in a low budget film which takes place around HK.

I think it will definetely have something to do with the black guy he met as that didnt really fit in with the rest of the storyline, it seemed more like a setup for something in the future, I would hope they make SD2 with Wei going back to America.

The game handles cars and bikes very well, so i'm confused what you mean:confused::confused:

I have to disagree. Slow cars and bikes corner well. But the faster cars are a nightmare. Even when going slow, the corner like the road is made of ball bearings. Going fast in them is great but as soon as you slow down you end up in a wall or facing the wrong way. I though cars like this would have sticky tires not the case.
