Sherlock Holmes is about to go on a ‘mystic trip.’
[dropcap size=small]T[/dropcap]he good folks at Frogwares games are bringing out yet another Sherlock Holmes title, Sherlock Holmes: The Devil’s Daughter, which will be the 8th Sherlock game to come from the Ukrainian developers.
Following on from their 2014 release, Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments, Frogwares promises ‘taut action and investigative work,’ that will ‘push your abilities to the limit in a one-of-a-kind interactive experience.’
The game is set for release in spring this year for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC, and game publisher Bigben interactive has finally given us a glimpse of things to come in this recent cinematic game trailer:
The trailer doesn’t give us too much to go in terms of game-play, and still leaves us with an air of mystery in regards to the plot-line of the game, but it certainly makes you want to find out just what it’s all about; just who is this Caitlin Sherlock keeps shouting about?
It’s very intriguing stuff, and with each Sherlock title Frogwares brings out, the games get better and better. The Devil’s Daughter has all the potential of outdoing Crimes and Punishments, which enjoyed many favourable reviews upon its release.
The developers have given us more of an insight into the game-play you can expect, and it all sounds very, well, Sherlockian:
With numerous suspects in each investigation, every choice you make could drive the story in unexpected – and possibly deadly – directions.
-
Take on five thrilling and confounding cases.
-
Freely roam an expansive landscape of playable terrain.
-
Maneuver fast-paced action sequences to challenge your every gaming skill.
-
Play a unique blend of game mechanics that lead to an unprecedented experience.
-
State-of-the-art graphics bring the streets of Victorian London to life.
-
For the first time in his storied career, Sherlock Holmes’ ruthless logic is overwhelmed by family stories, irresistible emotions and an occult revenge.
Fast-paced action? Irresistible emotions? Expansive playable terrains? Yes please.
This next instalment in the Sherlock series seems to have everything going for it, and with an open-world quality, solving those perplexing cases with Watson looks set to be better than ever before.
Sherlock Holmes: The Devil’s Daughter is set for release on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC sometime this Spring.
