Sherlock Holmes: Crimes & Punishments is the upcoming seventh entry in the mystery investigation game series, where you take control of one of the most famous detectives of all time, Sherlock Holmes. We’ve known a good bit about this game for awhile, but it has just been revealed that Xbox One owners are going to be able to solve mysteries as well.
The Xbox One version of the game joins the already announced PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC versions, so there was little surprise by this announcement considering it was already on one Xbox platform. With a release set for this coming September, the US distributor of the game, Maximum Games, has had their CEO, Christina Seelye, discuss their vision on bringing the game to the US.
Crimes and Punishments arrives at a very unique and exciting time given the recent phenomenon of Sherlock Holmes in the United States. It’s not enough to say that the game will be popular among fans. More than that, Crimes and Punishments gives players a chance to embody the character they respect so much. Instead of merely watching Sherlock’s amazing abilities, players are dropped into scenarios where they must use their detective skills as Sherlock would.
In addition, three new images have been released for the game, which you can see below:
