Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened has been pushed back a few weeks

Frogwares has announced their decision to delay the release of the detective adventure Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened. Initially, they had planned for the game to be out the door by February or March, but now theyā€™re predicting it could land as late as April.

Frogwares has released a video to go along with the announcement to outline the difficulties they have been having. The developer is based out of Kyiv, Ukraine, and because of the Russian invasion targeting the countryā€™s energy infrastructure, the team has had trouble maintaining a work schedule. The video also outlines how some members have to alternate working remotely and in office, depending on which site has power at the time.

While I havenā€™t played any of Frogwaresā€™ Sherlock Holmes titles, I have gotten into The Sinking City, which I mostly enjoy. Iā€™m mostly held back by the fact that Iā€™ve never read any of the novels. Frogwares started their adventure series based off Arthur Conan Doyleā€™s detective stories back in 2001. Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened is a full remake of their third game, released back in 2007. Theyā€™ve been at it for a long time, and the series has gained its share of fans.

Frogwares isnā€™t the only developer trying to put together a game during an invasion. Much of Digital Dreams Entertainment, developers of Mutant Football League, are trying to create a sequel to their Football title. Likewise, GSC Gameworld is still pushing toward a release for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, and has already had to delay it for the same reason.

Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened will be coming to PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch sometime in March or April.
