So it turns out that "Square Pack" for Sleeping Dogs was in fact a Square Enix costume pack.

Unfortunately, despite being called the "Square Enix Character Pack", there is no Balthier outfit with matching motorcycle.

Sleeping Dogs players will be able to make protagonist Wei Shen look like Agent 47, Adam Jensen or Rico Rodriguez this Wednesday, when co-developers United Front Games and Square Enix London Studios release the game's Square Enix Character Pack.

The add-on, which costs $1.99 on PlayStation Network and Steam, and 160 Microsoft Points on Xbox Live Marketplace, includes character skins from three of Square Enix's games: Agent 47 from the upcoming Hitman: Absolution, Adam Jensen from 2011's Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Rico Rodriguez from 2010's Just Cause 2.

The Agent 47 costume includes a silenced weapon and reduces heat from the fuzz, while the Jensen outfit's armor offers a 33 percent reduction in the damage Shen takes and comes with a "futuristic, fully automatic combat rifle," according to Square Enix. Rodriguez's skin — which lets Shen hijack cars from a greater distance — is already unlocked within Sleeping Dogs for players who have a Just Cause 2 save file on their hard drive, but the DLC pack adds Rico's Signature Pistol and its explosive shells.

[Takao]

You mean the Eidos pack.

Agent 47 is not a good look on Wei.

 

[KillerTravis]

Eidos has some of my favorite properties.

 

[Grakl]

I was hoping that this would be a game about Adam Jensen's dog, lol.

 

[RoboPlato]

Wei Jensen looks so awesome.

 

[Dantis]

Eidos characters, yet no Legacy of Kain.

Why.

EDIT: In all seriousness, they're actually some really cool costumes.

 

[Avixph]

Wei looks super weird in the Hitman costume.

 

[Cade]

Wei looks hilarious bald. I'm gonna buy this pack for that Hitman gun and the Deus Ex outfit, as I already have the JC2 stuff from owning JC2. DLC for Sleeping Dogs is like adding chocolates to fine wine.

 

[Poyunch]

Bald Wei Shen is godly.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Weigent 47 is not a good look, yo.

 

[Jintor]

Bald Wei Shen is amazing.

I never gave it much thought before, but the Square-Eidos media empire has some pretty baller-looking protagonists.

 

[ezekial45]

I'm surprised they're still Eidos. I figured they'd be branded Square Enix by now.

 

[Takao]

Also, Wei Shensen.

[ZoddGutts]

Where's the Lara Croft character pack?

 

[Eusis]

Another example of why I hate how they just label it all "Square Enix": they don't even capitalize for things like this, Balthier could've been pretty nice and Cloud could've been good for a laugh, especially if they threw in the Buster Sword too. Or a Sazh outfit with afro for both.

 

[Poyunch]

Where's the Lara Croft character pack?

You'll want to protect the new Wei Shen.

 

[Gbraga]

Holy shit lol

 

[Empty Space]

I'm surprised they're still Eidos. I figured they'd be branded Square Enix by now.

Why would they want to ruin the one good brand they have left?

Spoiler

Joking

 

[zerokoolpsx]

Wei Jensen looks cool.

 

[Claude]

Deus Shen looks godly, while Weigent 47 looks awful.

Off topic, how was the zombies DLC?

 

[Shantom]

Also, Wei Shensen.

#missedopportunity

Wei Jenshen.

 

[bobbytkc]

Fucking amazing. I think Asian agent 47 actually looks bloody awesome. They should just plunk this model into the Asian versions of hitman.

 

[RoboPlato]

Where's the Lara Croft character pack?

She was too pissed after her and Wei went out on one date, he fucked her, then never called her or acknowledges her existence again.

 

[JDSN]

Wei's head is like a fucking orange.

 

[bobbytkc]

Just missing the lightning character pack.

 

[RoboPlato]

Wei's head is like a fucking orange.

A distant relative of Karl Pilkington, perhaps?

 

[Shinta]

Now I want Wei Shen to star in the next Deus Ex. Make it a prequel to the prequel, where he has to get reconstructive surgery after a botched undercover mission.

Honestly, I'd be okay with Wei Shen taking over all 3 of these series.

 

[fallagin]

Hitman costume makes his head look really big.

Squaresoft actually had the idea of making a virtual actress that would appear in multiple games/movies as different characters. It was Aki Ross, but after The Spirits Within cratered so were those plans.

It's both an awesome, and slightly unsettling idea.

He seriously should have a cameo in the next hitman. He'll jump over a wall, scream 'wei shen, motherfucker' punch a few dudes and then jump out the window.

 

[Die Squirrel Die]

Deus Shen looks godly, while Weigent 47 looks awful.

Off topic, how was the zombies DLC?

Short and a bit pointless. As a bit of seasonal Halloween content I did enjoy it, but it was over way too quick and lacked alot in the mission variety of the main game. Hopefully any future DLC is more substantial.

The pistol comes with the suit already.

 

[Fraeon]

I never asked for this.

 

[exmachina64]

I never asked for this.

I wanted to be a hitman, it made me bald.

No.

 

[Cade]

No.

Yes. Do you really want to fight about it when I can prove it for a fact, or do you just want to be a dick (justice)?

 

[slightconfuse]

that looks awesome

 

[Beck]

What they need to release is a Fear Effect costume pack with Royce and Jacob skins.
I would suggest a Hana costume, but that would require giving Wei a sex change... which now that I think about it, would be a great idea!

 

[Squire]

No Lara Croft cosplay for Amanda?

 

[SixStringPsycho]

Wei's head is like a fucking orange.

 

[Grassclipper]

The Wei Jensen suit looks awesome, the Hitman one looks weird.

 

[reptilescorpio]

Wei Jensen looks AMAZING.

Now hurry up with some substantial mission DLC! Although I bet all this little cosmetic DLC is doing good business for Square.

 

[Tomat]

Why is there a martian from Mars Attacks! wearing a suit?

 

[chickdigger802]

one punch man.

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

Cyberpunk and Asian are a package deal, so it's no surprise that the Deus skin looks good on him.

 

[Dick Justice]

Yes. Do you really want to fight about it when I can prove it for a fact, or do you just want to be a dick (justice)?

I have the game on PS3, have the suit due to my JC2 save, and I don't have this gun.

 

[SJRB]

Holy shit augmented Wei looks awesome.

Bald Wei however, not so much.

 

[Dennis]

 

[Sn4ke_911]

wat? a fun thread title by Nirolak?

 

[FACE]

Wei's head is like a fucking orange.
