“Sherlock needs more time.” Thus begins the harsh statement with which Frogwares acknowledges that it will not be possible to launch Sherlock Holmes The Awakened this month, as planned. The Ukrainian study took the decision after the intensification of the Russian offensive and the difficulties of the team to be able to work on the game.
The upcoming third-person mystery title, in which the famed sleuth will confront Lovecraftian horrors, was slated for release in late February or early March.
“We have worked hard to meet the planned launch deadline, but continued power outages, coupled with frequent missile attacks since October, have forced us to reschedule and reschedule almost monthly.
We are now at a point where the game is complete in terms of content, so we need to move on to final QA, polish it and prepare for release. To say we are fed up with all of this disrupting our daily work since the onset of winter is an understatement. But we are doing our best to continue. When we are one month away from the launch, we will be able to announce the exact date.” – Sergiy Oganesyan, communication manager at Frogwares.
“Thank you very much for your understanding and support! We’ll talk about it soon.”
We recently published our first impressions of Sherlock Holmes The Awakened, where it left us with good impressions (also knowing the difficulties of its development), so we are eagerly awaiting its final release.
