Triad Wars failed to gain a foothold in the market.
Rockstar Games managed to create Grand Theft Auto Online, which continues to evolve to this day. But the industry also has an unsuccessful example of an attempt to launch a multiplayer criminal action game.
Some gamers still remember Triad Wars — a shut-down live-service game from the creators of Sleeping Dogs. The project failed to become a hit, but it still offered a number of ideas that remain interesting.
There is a Triad Wars Revived Project — a fan initiative to revive the game. Last year, sneakyevil uploaded the files of the original project online. A lone enthusiast, nedanels, "picked up the baton" and began creating a new server emulator.
In 2026, work on the Triad Wars Revived Project continues. Certain mechanics are already working, such as the raids and racketeering system, base building, shops, and vehicles.
Some people are already playing the early version and publishing gameplay online.
