Frogwares has shared a first gameplay trailer for its upcoming remake of Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened - the studio's Lovecraft-themed crossover from 2007 - alongside news that the project will be launching early next year.
Frogwares revealed its plans for a "full remake and substantial rewrite" of The Awakened back in July, launching a Kickstarter campaign shortly after to secure additional funding to complete the game - a step the Ukranian studio said was necessary due to complications arising from Russia's ongoing invasion.
Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened, in its new guise, will rework the events of the original to serve as a continuation of the studio's young Sherlock arc, which began in last year's enjoyable Chapter One. As such, it'll follow a young Sherlock Holmes, along with his new acquaintance John Watson, on his first big case in London - an investigation soon leading to a Cthulhu-worshipping cult and other Lovecraft-inspired horrors.
