Sleeping Dogs Dev Announces Smash and Grab

United Front Games, the developer behind Sleeping Dogs, announced its next game is not Sleeping Dogs 2, but instead is something new and its called Smash and Grab.

Here is the United Front Games Statement:

“Get ready for Smash + Grab, an underground competition where gangs of the future battle it out for loot, power, and infamy inside a corporate urban dystopia.

Choose from a growing selection of faction themed characters to assemble your own crew. Customize your style and gameplay from hundreds of perks and clothing items.

Once assembled, team up with other players to fight, loot, and craft your weaponry to come out on top. Mixing melee and ranged 3rd person combat, Smash and Grab offers a fresh new take on competitive multi-player action.”

Check out the Trailer:

“Whatever the Sleeping Dogs developer’s plans are now, though, it’s likely that we won’t be seeing a Sleeping Dogs 2 for a long time, even despite its good reviews and high sales. While there’s likely plenty of demand for it, either United Front Games intends to get to it eventually or Square Enix has contracted another company to develop the game.

Smash & Grab is a PC exclusive game that serves as a three-on-three team battler. Smash & Grab apparently will debut on Steam Early Access sometime in September, and will include two multiplayer modes, two maps, and an offline practice mode. In the game, you and your team compete against the other team to steal 50,000 dollars in loot in the space of fifteen minutes. The team that gets the most money wins.”
