Hong Kong (officially the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China) is a metropolitan area and special administrative region of China on the eastern Pearl River Delta in South China. Hong Kong was established as a colony of the British Empire after the Qing Empire ceded Hong Kong Island from Xin'an County at the end of the First Opium War in 1841 then again in 1842. The colony expanded to the Kowloon Peninsula in 1860 after the Second Opium War and was further extended when Britain obtained a 99-year lease of the New Territories in 1898. British Hong Kong was occupied by Imperial Japan from 1941 to 1945; British administration resumed after the surrender of Japan. The whole territory was transferred to China in 1997. As one of China's two special administrative regions (the other being Macau), Hong Kong maintains separate governing and economic systems from that of mainland China under the principle of "one country, two systems". Originally a sparsely populated area of farming and fishing villages, the territory has become one of the world's most significant financial centres and commercial ports. It is the world's tenth-largest exporter and ninth-largest importer. Hong Kong has a major capitalist service economy characterized by low taxation and free trade, and its currency, the Hong Kong dollar, is the eighth most traded currency in the world. Hong Kong is home to the third-highest number of billionaires of any city in the world, the second-highest number of billionaires of any city in Asia, and the largest concentration of ultra high-net-worth individuals of any city in the world. Although the city has one of the highest per capita incomes in the world, severe income inequality exists among the population. Hong Kong is a highly developed territory and ranks fourth on the UN Human Development Index. The city has the largest number of skyscrapers of any city in the world, and its residents have some of the highest life expectancies in the world. The dense space led to a developed transportation network with public transport rates exceeding 90%. Hong Kong is ranked 4th in the Global Financial Centres Index.

The new announcement of Ubisoft games which is widely considered in the Grand Theft Auto clone are set in real-life cities worldwide from New York City to London and then from Paris to Rio de Janeiro. Each game in the new franchise of Ubisoft centres on different respective protagonist who attempts to rise through either the criminal underworld as well as the Assassins Brotherhood due to various motives or several police department bureaus which follows up, leads, and interrogate suspects and witnesses through urban centers, often accompanying themes of betrayal like the new open-world games to play as anyone or protagonists. Each universe is considered separate with only background characters shared between them using Unreal Engine 5 of which the Ubisoft game series allows the player to take on the role of a criminal in the big cities globally especially in Cape Town, Sydney or any other places around the world, typically an individual who ends up rising through the ranks of organised crime, the brotherhood or to join police bureau for their duties through the course of the game.
