The True Crime series is finally returning to the videogames as announced by Activision who premiered a stunning debut trailer for the game at the Spike TV Video Game Awards 2009.

Developed by United Front Games in lieu of Luxoflux, the game takes place on the streets of Hong Kong, China and has players taking the role of an undercover agent named Detective Wei Shen who must infiltrate the notorious Triad Gang.

Apparently all of the footage shown below is in-game . . . if that is actually true then this is one heck of a looker. I also think that the Asian setting really sets this game apart from that of the Grand Theft Auto series or any other open-world action game I’ve seen before.

Here is the debut trailer. The game will release sometime in 2010.

True Crime 1 was an excellent game, though a bit linear compared to other sandbox games of it’s time, particularly the legendary GTA San Andreas. True Crime 2 was released quite late in the series, and while it had an excellent story, and really improved the gameplay aspects of this series, it suffered from numerous game breaking bugs, and several other issues. Here’s hoping Third Tuimes a charm.
