Get ready to mark your calendars, because HK-based indie game developer and publisher Team DF is dropping a serious contender into the gaming arena: Dual Fire: Walled City (港警成雙: 來自城寨). Slated for a Q2 2026 release on Steam, this co-op action game is already igniting buzz, not least because it evokes serious déjà vu for fans of the iconic 2012 open-world adventure, Sleeping Dogs.
Like its spiritual predecessor, Dual Fire: Walled City plunges players into the gritty, neon-drenched underworld of Hong Kong, albeit with a fresh focus on the legendary Kowloon Walled City. The narrative centers on two close friends who grew up together within its labyrinthine confines, offering an emotional journey steeped in classic Hong Kong crime thriller aesthetics. Think close-quarters fighting, cinematic flair, and a heavy dose of brotherhood.
What’s truly catching eyes, however, are the game’s two main characters. While Team DF states their characters are fictional, it’s hard to ignore a certain striking familiarity—a visual homage that has many observers feeling like they’re looking at digital doppelgängers of Hong Kong cinema legends Andy Lau and Donnie Yen.
This subtle nod to genre titans only amplifies the game‘s allure, promising a rich, immersive experience. We’re certainly anticipating its arrival here at RADII, eager to see how Team DF’s vision brings the Walled City to life with bone-crunching combat and a compelling story.
