Square Enix has picked up the rights to True Crime: Hong Kong, previously under development by United Front Games until its cancellation by Activision earlier this year.

As reported by Gamasutra, the title is still under development at Vancouver-based United Front, and will be managed by Square Enix London Studios.

"When we first saw and got our hands on the game we fell in love with it," Square Enix London Studios general manager Lee Singleton stated.

Originally scheduled for November, Singleton told Gamasutra that "We're not talking about release timings or formats at this time."

In regards to the True Crime intellectual property, Singleton comments: "It's too early to say what the name will be."
