Frogwares has showcased plenty of cinematics for its upcoming remake of Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened. Thankfully, a new reveal trailer provides our first look at the gameplay. Check it out below, courtesy of IGN.
Much like the original, the visuals go for a moodier, more terrifying atmosphere befitting the Cthulhu Mythos. The story is set in 1884 and sees Sherlock Holmes investigating various disappearances linked to a cult worshipping Cthulhu. It also tells the story of Sherlock’s friendship with John Watson, who went from his roommate to a crime-fighting partner.
Rebuilt from the ground-up on Unreal Engine, Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened features new content to go with its modern visuals and animations. It expands the storyline, adds new side quests, and even has insanity playing a role in the gameplay, though specifics are still unknown. It’s out in February 2023 for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
