New Sherlock Holmes Title, Crimes & Punishments, On The Way

A new Sherlock Holmes title is coming to PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 this year and its got a new engine and new morality choices.

Developer Frogwares Studio is switching things over to the Unreal Engine 3 from the homemade engine that it used for The Testament of Sherlock Holnes (check out our review here). The new game will also give Mr. Holmes a new modernized design, and for the first time in the series, morality choices.

You can check out some screens from the game in the gallery below.

  • Cool beans.

  • Mod
    I wasn't aware there was an actual series of Sherlock games. This interests me. And they've really got you working today, Kyle.
  • Maybe I'm getting him confused with someone like L but I don't think of Sherlock Holmes as a person who makes decisions based off of morality.

  • Anyone else NOT seeing those screens?
  • Hey, this seems pretty cool, I didn't know there was a Sherlock Holmes series.

  • I love games with morality choices. Ever since inFamous, I've been all for it.
  • ´´The Testament of Sherlock HolNes´´ typo there
  • A point and click sherlock holmes mystery/puzzle game would be awesome if done well.

  • Got a little typo in the "Testament" title there guys, and the gallery screenshots aren't loading.

  • Testament didn't look too terrible, but UE3 is probably a better choice and easier to use.

  • Awesome! The one last year looked kina cool, was thinking of checking it out on gamefly. Morality choice? I'll def be keeping an eye on this one. Can't wait to learn more about it I the subsequent months

  • Benedict Cumberbatch!
  • Is this series similar to L.A Noire?

  • Cool, does anyone know a release date?

  • More Sherlock Holmes please

  • I was playing The Testament now :P It's been pretty fun so far. I wish they could improove the animations in the next game though

  • I honestly enjoy a good mystery. I hope the one for this is done well and leave me guessing until the very end. Gotta work those brain muscles!

  • Morality choices. Insult, or not insult Watson...
  • Nice that Sherlock Holmes is finally getting into the gaming spotlight and not just those average Downey Jr. films.

  • That's nice.
