Has really, really nice cover art, too
Sherlock Holmes: The Devil’s Daughter,Frogwares’ newestSherlock Holmesgame,has finally been given a release date: July 21, 2025 for PS4, Xbox One and PC.
Publisher BigBen Interactive has also unveiled the box art, which you may see in full detail below. I know it’s still a guy looking mean holding a gun, but when you compare to something likeDoom, it’s definitely up there as one of the better recent covers.
According to statements made backwhen the game was announced, Frogwares is going for a more dramatic, action-fueled focus this time than they have previously, which might be interesting.Crimes and Punishmentstook a lot of visual inspiration from the BBC’s popularSherlock, whereasThe Devil’s Daughterseems to almost be going for a Robert Downey Jr. movie style, which will be really cool to see.
I really hopeThe Devil’s Daughteris good.Crimes and Punishmentshad a fantastic atmosphere and visual style that was let down somewhat by some weird deduction mechanics. I said the deduction was cool whenThe Devil’s Daughterwas announced, but going back to them recently reminded me of how many nonsensical leaps in logic you have to make sometimes…
IfThe Devil’s Daughtermanages to improve on that at all, we’re easily looking at the bestHolmesgame to have ever been made.
