Don't let Sherlock Holmes: Chapter One slip off your radar as the release schedule in 2021 begins to slowly get its gears turning β this looks set to be the best detective title Frogwares has put out yet. Planned for both PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, this cross-gen title brings back the open-world structure of Sherlock Holmes: The Devil's Daughter and couples it with an origin story packed full of content. The Q&A video above mentions more than 40 hours of playtime if you want to complete each and every side quest.
There will be five main quests to solve, which are all linked together via one continuous story. Then there are more than 30 side quests to complete, some of which are supposedly just as deep as what the main plot has to offer. They can be picked up across the island as and when you like, bringing a sense of freedom to the equation. Those tasks will also give way to choices that heavily impact the story and its ending. "All main quests and most side quests will have different outcomes based on your deductions, choices, as well as moral choices. And of course, the game itself will offer several different endings."
The informative video then touches on disguises, voice acting, and clothing if you're interested in learning more. Will you be suiting up as the famous detective in Sherlock Holmes: Chapter One later this year? Don't forget your magnifying glass in the comments below.

After watching that Video, I want this game, too. And here I thought I was going to get off light while waiting for ps5 availability!
Iβm honestly looking forward to this a lot. Frogwares have been so close to making a great game over the years so hopefully this is the one that pulls it off.
I got really frustrated by all of the loading screens in devils daughter, which is probably why I dropped off after completing the first couple cases. If its actually an open world and not tiny open areas, consider me interested
Definitely looking forward to this. Love the Sherlock Holmes games.
I really hope this is great. I'm worried about some of the design decisions, but it seems promising.
Loved crimes and punishment. Devil's daughter was ok. I'm sure I'll pick this up on a sale when it comes out. They are well acted and are a refreshing change of pace from most AAA games
Yeah definitely a purchase from me, I wish this team of developers success.
Im really interested in this. I learned my lesson with Cyberpunk so i wont preorder any more games. Ill see the reviews and make my decision based on that.
It seems to have everything i want from a game
I'm there as long as there is no arm wrestling πͺππππ
The game's afoot!
I'm totally down. The last two Holmes titles weren't perfect, but I still enjoyed the hell out of them.
Excellent. Love the deduction mechanics in these games, but the clunky action scenes almost ruined Devils Daughter. The running through the forest bit springs to mind. Hopefully they've improved.
Glad to hear the game will be good, still have it on my wishlist for a reason.
