![]() This is all highly speculative, but because entertainment industries have fought so long to not tell stories of Asian-Americans, they have also made it super easy for us to recognize the few stories of ours out there. Is Simu Liu Working on a Sleeping Dogs Project? Granted there are only two, but the tweets are from Sunday, so he definitely had to look for it a bit. ![]() He’s able to tease it, without actually saying anything. For someone who is undoubtedly bombarded with tweets, for this to be a pattern does not seem random. He liked this one, and he has liked another Tweet mentioning Sleeping Dogs as well. Sure it’s no big deal that someone liked my Tweet, but for context, myself and others on the team have tweeted at Liu a few times with 0 interaction. You can see it at the top of this section. So to be able to bring such an awesome story and one that is very near and dear to North American-Asians to life is something that makes a lot of sense for Liu to not only be a part of but so excited about. It is honestly one of the best open-world games in every sense. But I’m willing to bet Simu has played Sleeping Dogs which is why he is so excited to tease it. At least from what we can tell from his Xbox ads.

There might be an indy game out there, but for anyone to know would be impossible, let alone Simu Liu questioning if he was too obvious with his hint. So the lack of other games with even the vaguest resemblance to an Asian-American in Hong Kong is practically 0. The number of stories gets infinitely smaller when talking about gaming. Sadly, there aren’t a lot of stories about Asian-Americans. The first reason is his description of the main character’s similarities to Wei Shen. Why Sleeping Dogs is Likely Simu Liu’s Other Project?

I’m not gonna say the name because I didn’t want it to be – I don’t want to jump the gun on it. That I might be working – I don’t know – I don’t know.
