Feature Designers Team Lead at Frogwares, Jaroslav Martyniuk, elaborated on what's new: “No assets or code are being repurposed from the original game. We are essentially rebuilding the entire game from scratch to run Unreal Engine 4, using all new assets or ones we can cleverly rework from Sherlock Holmes Chapter One which came out only a few months ago. We’re also adding entirely new gameplay mechanics while reworking the original ones to expand the ways players will be solving the cases." Essentially, the title will not be a 1:1 recreation. This is further cemented by the following statement: "The changes to the story and timeline mean entirely new voice acting will be recorded. We’re also reworking the camera to feel like modern third-person perspective games, remaking all of the UI, animations, cutscenes. The list goes on. It’s essentially an entirely new game with only the underlying story in the cases staying more or less intact."

What is Sherlock Holmes The Awakened about

Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened remake saw a young Sherlock take on his first major case alongside his newly acquainted sidekick, John Watson. What seemed like a straightforward case of a missing person quickly spiralled into a web of conspiracies by a nefarious cult that worshipped the eldritch god Cthulhu and attempted to bring about an ancient prophecy. Players could explore areas, investigate crime scenes, find clues, and solve puzzles. 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 XS, Nintendo Switch and PC. Other games from Frogwares include several entries under the Sherlock Holmes franchise, as well as another H.P. Lovecraft-inspired game called The Sinking City.
