The game based on the greatest detective will finally be arriving soon, and yes we are talking about the one and only Sherlock Holmes. Sherlock Holmes Chapter One has finally been decided for a holiday release date and the developer of the game, Frogwares has also released a new deep-dive gameplay video, which provides a peek at Sherlock’s “Mind Palace” where he formulates theories.
We also get to see our very own upgradeable mansion hub in the game and combat. The interesting thing here is that all the combats can be skipped because like the fans of Sherlock Holmes we all are in it for the mysteries not for the action.
Check out a new release date trailer below:
let’s go ahead and check out the gameplay deep dive:
here are the key features of the game:
- The Man Before: As a cavalier young Sherlock on the precipice of adulthood, you’ll earn your reputation in a way no game or story has explored before. We’ve never seen the youthful arrogance and naiveté of the man before the legend—now you’re living it.
- Global Investigation: You never know where your next clue will come from. Explore and exploit the entire city in your pursuit of truth, using clues, rumors, disguises, tags, and pinned evidence to build a solid case within your mind palace.
- And Stay Down: Weapons might help you in a pinch, but there’s something to be said for style—and you have it in spades. Spot enemy vulnerabilities with your brilliant observation skills, or exploit the environment to take someone down while keeping your own hands clean.
- A Different Jon: Before John Watson, there was a different Jon – your best friend. But who is he?
- A Darkening Tide: Set in the 19th century, the vibrant island in the Mediterranean promises anything but paradise. Political corruption and crime run rampant while the islanders cling to tradition and eschew outsiders, making your job even more difficult.
- Truth and Lies: There are two sides to every story, and the proud islanders have their ideas about truth and justice. It’s up to you to decide whether uncovering the truth will do more harm than good—and how that will shape the man you’ll become.
Sherlock Holmes Chapter One launches on PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PS5 on November 16. The game is coming to Xbox One and PS4 “at a later date.”
