Sherlock Holmes The Awakened release date locked in as 11 April

The time has arrived.

The Sherlock Holmes The Awakened release date has been set as 11 April, following delays occuring due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The Awakened is a remake (and rewrite) of Frogware’s original 2007 PC title, this time done in Unreal Engine 4.

Sherlock Holmes The Awakened is a Cthulhu meets Sherlock Holmes detective horror adventure,” Frogwares explained. “The game acts as a continuation of young Sherlock’s story with Holmes and Watson undertaking their first major case together.

“An Eldritch god-obsessed cult is making moves in the shadows to bring about a world-altering prophecy and it’s up to the young detective duo to thwart their plans. This is a creative take on what horror-filled and reality-breaking events could have met our heroes at such a crucial point in their lives to go on and shape them into the characters we all know they become. Delve into the trauma and fear that cements their friendship for good and the revelations that break Sherlock’s mind to create the flawed and haunted genius he is destined to be.”

Expect Sherlock Holmes The Awakened from 11 April on Windows PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, PS4, PS5 and Switch.
