Crimes & Punishments: Sherlock Holmes summer teaser trailer released

Written by Brandon Hofer on July 13, 2013

News: Sherlock Holmes is now on the Unreal Engine 3 and will be available later this year for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.

Crimes & Punishments: Sherlock Holmes will be heading to Xbox 360, PS3 soon and Focus Home Interactive has released a new trailer that shows a little more of crime scenes, suspects and a Sherlock Holmes determined to see the guilty behind bars. You will be able to immerse yourself in the heart of London at the side of this famous detective, already hot on the heels of dangerous criminals.

Crimes & Punishments marks a change for the series as the developers over at Frogwares Studios have switched from their own in-house engine to Unreal Engine 3. Unreal 3 enables a much richer, more immersive and detailed rendering of both the environments and characters. Additionally, new investigation techniques have been developed and the game can now offer 14 game mechanics. From the opening of each of the eight investigations up to the arrest of the culprits and the moral dilemmas faced by the players, the new game mechanics convey the feeling of being Sherlock Holmes.

Players will therefore be able to exploit the gifts and talents for which Sherlock Holmes is renowned, such as his ability to guess the details of an individual’s life simply by observing them, or to imagine and reconstruct a past event by studying the key features of a crime scene. Check out the recently released trailer below and tell us what you think. Are you looking forward to Crimes & Punishments: Sherlock Holmes?
