Frogwares, first via IGN USA game trailer dedicated magazine Sherlock Holmes: AwakenedThe new investigative adventure of Britain’s most famous detective.
We can admire the video setting of the gameIt will be dark and stinking. Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened is set in 1884 and stands as a fresh start in the adventures of Sherlock and John H. Watson.
Sherlock Holmes: Awakened is positioned after Sherlock Holmes: Chapter One, where Sherlock is not yet a famous detective. This new game is a remake of the 2006 episode of the same name (rereleased in 2008 in a remastered version with some additions), “a cross between Lovecraft and Sherlock Holmes”, and asks us to “investigate a series of mysterious disappearances, apparently to an Ancient God.” It’s about a dark cult that worships all reason. Whatever his plans are, you must either stop him… or suffer the indescribable consequences. For the first time in his life, Sherlock is truly afraid. A rational man who trusts logic is confronted by a supernatural being who defies all logic, and this “The discovery is as illuminating as it is problematic. Watson’s search for the truth in the one story he will never publish will drive Sherlock to the brink of insanity.”

As in another Lovecraft-inspired Frogwares game, The Sinking City, we see Sherlock link clues, put on various disguises to access certain restricted areas, and explore swampy areas by boat.
Sherlock Holmes: Awakened It will be available on PC, PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch in early 2023. A more precise release date has not been specified at this time.
