Square Enix has announced that the Year of the Snake DLC pack for Sleeping Dogs will be available from March 12.
The bundle will cost £4.39/560 MS Points and be available simultaneously for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.
Set immediately after the events of the main game, Year of the Snake explores what happens to Wei Shen when he's placed back into the Hong Kong Police Department and tasked with redeeming himself.
Over the course of six missions, players are tasked with taking on "a vicious end-of-the-world cult hell-bent on cleansing the city of its evils." Shen's arsenal has been appropriately increased to deal with the threat though, meaning those who purchase the DLC will gain access to new weapons including tear gas guns and electroshock pistols.
Alongside this, three new outfits will be introduced to the game as well as new collectibles and abilities that focus more on Shen's ability to keep the peace rather than dole out vigilante justice. While you'll still be able to beat foes to bloody pulps if you really fancy, to complete missions you'll have to handcuff them or bundle them into the back of a police car.
This is the third story-focused DLC pack for Sleeping Dogs; the first was the Halloween-themed Nightmare in North Point, while The Zodiac Tournament bundle paid homage to classic Kung Fu. When the game launched in August of last year, it was explained the game would be getting DLC for six months. As we're now in the seventh month since the game launched, it's not clear if Year of the Snake will be the last DLC pack for the game. We'll keep you posted as soon as we know more.
