Frogwares Studio has announced a new part of Sherlock Holmes - this time the developers will go to the source of the character, telling about his first deeds.
The novelty received the talking name Sherlock Holmes Chapter One, and the story will be devoted to investigating the death of his own mother, as well as finding his place in the world. Young Sherlock will appear before the players not as the greatest detective, but as a daring young man.
Next to the protagonist will be his best friend - John, but not Watson. Behind the identity of the comrade is a mystery that the players also have to solve.
The main innovation will be a full-fledged open world - similar to what was implemented in last year's The Sinking City. In this case, Sherlock will be able to fight opponents - first of all, with the help of ingenuity and urban surroundings.
In addition, developers are betting on a new moral system - "True or False." The bottom line is that each resident has his own ideas about truth and justice, and truth can ultimately do more harm.
But the last decision for the player is to form his own Sherlock Holmes.
Sherlock Holmes Chapter One will be released in 2021 on the PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One and PC (Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG).
