Square Enix has released the voice-cast for their upcoming action title ‘Sleeping Dogs’. The list reads like a Hollywood staff-party, with top-billing actors and actresses making the list. 

 

The video and details were released from Square Enix earlier today via a press-release. Stars from both the United States and Hong Kong were cast to play pivotal roles in the upcoming game.

 



 

“Sleeping Dogs features over two hours of rich dialogue in a story inspired by some of Hong Kong’s finest films,” said Stephen van der Mescht, executive producer at United Front Games. “As huge fans of the genre we knew exactly who we wanted; we knew who could bring the script to life. The end result is fantastic.”

 

In a prepared statement sent to the press, Square Enix talks about the cast and the upcoming action-title:

Sleeping Dogs features the voice talent of Will Yun Lee (Die Another Day, Total Recall) as Wei Shen, an officer sent deep undercover into one of Hong Kong’s most feared Triad gangs, the Sun On Yee. Aided by police inspector Pendrew (Tom Wilkinson – Batman Begins, The Full Monty), Wei earns the trust of his childhood friend, Jackie Mah (Edison Chen – Infernal Affairs I/II, The Dark Knight). Wei becomes one of the most-trusted lieutenants of “Red Pole” Winston Chu (Parry Shen – Better Luck Tomorrow, The New Guy), slowly becoming ingrained in the criminal underworld and becoming one of the very men he was sent to bring down.

 

With a supporting cast including Emma Stone (The Amazing Spider-Man, Zombieland), Robin Shou (Hard to Kill, Fatal Chase), Terence Yin (New Police Story, Colour of the Truth), James Hong (Blade Runner, The Day the Earth Stood Still), Lucy Liu (Kill Bill: Vol. 1, The Man with the Iron Fists), Tzi-Ma (Rush Hour, The Quiet American), Yunjin Kim (Lost, Diary of June) and Kelly Hu (Martial Law, X2), Sleeping Dogs’ gritty plot is brought to life by a star studded cast of Asian and Western cinema stars.

Sleeping Dogs is set to launch on August 14, 2024 on PS3 and Xbox 360. The title is available for pre-order until then with a host of free DLC and promotions with the standard edition.
