With the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, it’s no surprise that developer Frogwares has announced a delay in the release of Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened. Previously announced for a release this month, the mashup of Lovecraft and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle will be pushed back to “late March/April 2023″.
The development team has released a video explaining the current situation in Ukraine, and why the game has been delayed.
“We had been trying so hard to make our planned release window, but the continual interruptions to power on top of the frequent missile attacks since October meant we had to replan and reschedule almost every month,” explains Sergiy Oganesyan, Head of Publishing at Frogwares. Luckily, the game is at a point where content implementation is complete, and so they’re moving into doing final QA, polishing and launch setup.
“To say we are tired of how much all this has derailed our day to day work since the start of winter is an understatement. But we’re doing our best to push on. Once we feel we are maybe a month away from release, we’ll be able to announce our full release date with an exact day.”
Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened is currently in development for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam.
