Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened remake announced, set to be a Lovecraft-themed Cthulhu crossover
Ukrainian developer Frogwares have announced a brand new remake of their 16-year-old title, Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened. The detective adventure game will utilize modern tech and is seemingly in the final stages of production. However, the Russia-Ukraine crisis has slowed down development.
As such, the studio has resorted to Kickstarter funding to tie up loose ends. Here are all the details on the upcoming remake.
Feature Designers Team Lead at Frogwares, Jaroslav Martyniuk, elaborated on what's new:
Essentially, the title will not be a 1:1 recreation. This is further cemented by the following statement:
In a nutshell, here is a rundown of all the confirmed changes for the remake:
Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened remake saw a young Sherlock take on his first major case alongside his newly acquainted sidekick, John Watson.

The game was originally released in 2006 exclusively for PC and saw a remaster in 2009. No release date has been provided yet, but this new remake will be released for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and PC.
Other games from Frogwares include several entries under the Sherlock Holmes franchise, as well as another H.P. Lovecraft-inspired open-world game called The Sinking City.
