The third instalment in the series will see a change in the franchise as the game will take place in Hong Kong as opposed to America and the developers will not be Luxoflux, the studio that created the first two titles. This time round Activision has decided to give the reins to new developers United Front Games.
The games plot will revolve around detective Wei Shen who manages to infiltrate a Triad gang called Sun On Yee, he will then have to juggle both sides of the law as he tries to fit in and act like a criminal whilst trying to prevent the triads from achieving any of their deadly missions.
Much like the first two titles the games action will take place in a third person view and involve high speed chases on different types of vehicles, hand to hand combat and manic gun fights as Wei attempts to bring down the Triad organisation without out be detected.
