Euro release date for Sleeping Dogs

Square Enix has announced a European release date of August 17th for gritty crime shooter Sleeping Dogs.

Pre-order goodies for the game have also been announced. Those who commit to buying it will get two packs – the George St. Pierre Pack and the Police Protection Pack. These offers special moves, in-game clothes, a new weapon and vehicle and one extra mission.

The title was once known as True Crime: Hong Kong before being dumped by previous publisher Activision.

Square swooped in to save the project in August 2011, however, rescuing developer United Front Games in the process.
