Leveling up my triad from 9-10 is taking forever. I'm replaying the missions to try and raise it, but man it only creeps up a tiny bit.

I was kinda hoping for more serious story missions but this sounds like it could be fun. I'll keep my eye out for it on the 30th.
Let's hope we can see a trailer of the zombies and vampires soon.

Is anyone else secretly hoping for a Jackie Ma zombie cameo? XD

It's out now!
What you can expect:
-2 and a half or 3 hours, depending if you do the sidequests.
-When you enter the game, it will ask if you want to play Nightmare in North Point or the Normal game, they are both different game modes, and the city changes (some billboards, all the citizens are possesed and some fight back, less car types) I havent tired to go to the other parts of the city, but I suppose you can, even if you cant do anything in them. Also you will only have one home base, the first one in the original game, that will open after you finished the intro.
-Maybe a little repetitive, its mainly fighting.
-Thers are like 5 normal missions that create the big one, just like the real game. Old faces will return.
-Running missions, brawl missions and gun missions, you use the car very little, only to go from point to point.
-You dont buy things (apart from food with amazing pork bun zombie seller) and unlock cars and clothes doing sidequests, apart from the last object when you complete the dlc the clothes and cars are the same as in the original game. That objects unlocks also on the normal game.
-You dont have the yellow bar from the normal game, and the first mission is pretty tough in one part because of it. After the gathering some things you will have a new blue bar, its similar to the yellow one, but intead of frightening your enemies, you gain super streghth and some new cool finisher moves.
-After getting the blue bar the game turns easier, but you fight two new types of enemies, the spirits, that come in different colors and the demons, that cant be killed without having the blue bar full. They have some new moves like trying to sucks shen's blood.
-Theres a new (awesome) weapon. it will appear frequently, mostly when you kill the big demons.
-There are 10 new shrines to find in all north point (I just found 5). This shrines make shen when the blue bar is filled up to punch its enemies and burn them. Every shrine you find ups your probability to burn enemies. I just burned 1 in my whole walkthrough (having found 5 shrines), so I suppose it only occurs frequently if you find 10.
-There are 4 new achivements.
-Theres also new ingame achivements, in this mode wou cant do the old ones, so its only possible to get new medals with the new ones.
-The story is fun, and even if its not canon, its tied with the original story. So its better to beat the game first and the the dlc.
-And something some people will like, its always in rainy mood, so the streets have always the awesome shine they had when it rained in the original game.

Got the DLC today and finished the story. It's a bit short to be honest. I had expected it to be a little longer. Nonetheless, I quite enjoyed it. I'll play it some more later to finish the side missions.
I have to say that some of the recurring characters are an interesting choices.
I have to say that some of the recurring characters are an interesting choices.
For example, I was totally expecting Jackie or Winston to be Wei's ghost guide instead of Vincent.
When I played Sleeping Dogs for the first time and Officer Teng tells Wei that Vincent, one of his crew had died, I was like 'Who is Vincent?'. He wasn't exactly memorable. So it seems really odd that the developers picked him as a guide.
The same goes for the ghost villains : Johnny Ratface, Dogeyes and Ponytail. I understand why they picked Johnny and Dogeyes to return but I don't understand why Ponytail was chosen. I would've expected Big Smile Lee to have a bigger bone to pick with Wei than Ponytail.

I am SOOOO close to platinum-ing. I have 1 more trophy in game (which seems like it could take me a lifetime as it's the Triad) and then the handful of dlc tophies and it's done. I have enjoyed this game more than I thought I ever would and will return to play it again, happily. So thankful to you all for starting this thread and keeping it alive so I could notice it.

Triad takes forever, it's frustrating. Congrats on your progress though! 
It's a nice coincidence that you bumped this thread, because I was going to as well, to post some new info about the next dlc story pack:

I haven't gotten around to picking this up yet, but is it basically True Crime but in Hong Kong? I loved the crap out of True Crime back when.

I personally enjoyed it more than the True Crime games.
I've never played True Crime so I can't compare them. However, the game is really, really fabulous and you will love it.
I remember when I first started playing, I would get my ass kicked time and time again with the fighting. Then as you go and you fight more often and learn new moves, you pretty much feel like the biggest badass when you play. I love the fighting now and love to fight at the docks.
They do give you kind of a cheat though, it is super easy to grab person after person and smash their heads one after the other. As long as it's not a grappler.

Thanks to the 'Top Dog Gold Pack' I got my platinum in about a half second. That was easy. Wish I had done that before replaying the missions a few times.
Now on to Nightmare in North Point. I am looking forward to it. I wonder if they will add any other trophies to the new DLC.
