Square Enix Acquires True Crime: Hong Kong

Square Enix has acquired the project United Front Games was developing as True Crime: Hong Kong before the game was cancelled by Activision earlier this year, reports Gamasutra. Since it was axed, the Vancouver-based developer has continued "scaled back" work of the project, which was expected in November for Windows, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3, though this is no longer certain, as Square Enix London Studios general manager Lee Singleton tells them: "We're not talking about release timings or formats at this time." There's also word that the game will probably undergo a name change, as while the work-in-progress was picked up, the True Crime intellectual property remains the property of Activision. "It's too early to say what the name will be," says Singleton. "I can honestly say I think this is going to be pretty straightforward."

This one definitely sounded promising, and the small bit of what we got to see at last years E3 had me excited.

I was royally pissed when Activision axed it.

Never played them, but this one sounded promising to me for some reason. I don't remember why.

True Crime: Streets of LA was kind of a guilty pleasure of mine.
