Publisher Bigben Interactive has announced that a new Sherlock Holmes game will be coming, Sherlock Holmes: The Devil’s Daughter. It is the eighth entry into the video game adventure sleuthing game, and will be developed by Frogwares.
The Devil’s Daughter will include five mysteries for Sherlock to solve in a free roaming environment of Victorian London, finding clues and interviewing witnesses and suspects, interspersed with action sequences.
According to the developer, ”For the first time in his storied career, Sherlock Holmes’ ruthless logic is overwhelmed by family stories, irresistible emotions and an occult revenge.” Well, not unless you count Young Sherlock Holmes, but even the film said it was non-canon.
Sherlock Holmes: The Devi’s Daughter is scheduled for a Spring 2016 launch for PC and next gen consoles, and will be shown off at the Paris Games Week convention next week at Hall 1, Stand G032.
