The spoilsports at Amazon have leaked the news that Sleeping Dogs will be coming to the newest generation of consoles in October 2014, before publisher Square Enix has made any announcements. The Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One appears to include all previously released DLC and a 28-page book of concept art. According to the Amazon listing, the game will arrive on October 14, 2014 for $60.

Sleeping Dogs is an open world crime game in the vein of Grand Theft Auto that was released in 2012, but with an emphasis on hand-to-hand combat using a system that is somewhat reminiscent of Rocksteady’s Batman: Arkham series. You play as Wei Shen, a former San Francisco police officer who has returned to his native Hong Kong to infiltrate the Sun Yee On triads. The game’s story missions are divided between jobs for the triads and for the police, pulling your loyalty back and forth between the two factions.

Sony just put one final nail in the PlayStation VR2’s coffin
The PlayStation VR2 sits on a table next to Sense controllers.

PlayStation VR2 has been murdered. The culprit: Astro Bot.

My favorite announcement of Sony's May 30 State of Play was Astro Bot, a new 3D platformer from Team Asobi that celebrates PlayStation history. It looks incredibly charming and stands out from the typical narrative-action games like Stellar Blade that Sony tends to release these days. That said, my excitement also comes with disappointment as it does not appear that the game will support PlayStation VR2. (Digital Trends reached out to Sony to confirm that was the case but has not gotten a response at the time of publishing this story.)

Astro Bot will reference one of PlayStation’s oldest memes
Astro Bot and its PlayStation character cameos, which include Aloy and Nathan Drake on the right.

The Astro Bot series is known for showcasing PlayStation history, with some incredible deep cuts and cameos. For the upcoming Astro Bot, which was officially announced during Sony's latest State of Play this week, that apparently comes in the form of a nearly 20-year-old meme.

In an interview with EW, Team Asobi head Nicolas Doucet mentioned some of the characters that players will encounter spread throughout the game's 80 planets. This includes some obvious inclusions, like Nathan Drake from the Uncharted franchise and Aloy from the Horizon games, but snuck into one of the paragraphs is mention of an island in the shape of a giant crab.
