Sherlock Holmes The Awakened is a single-player third-person adventure and an expanded remake of the 2006 game of the same name developed by Frogwares.
The game centers around a young Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson as they investigate disappearances connected to the Cthulhu Mythos of H. P. Lovecraft.
It was released on April 11, 2023 on Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG after a successful Kickstarter campaign.
This game takes place in London in 1868 during the Industrial Revolution. Like many of the earlier games it is told as a simulation played in the present using the Animus technology from the Abstergo company from the viewpoint of an anonymous Assassin initiate. In the present Rebecca Crane and Shaun Hastings clash with the Templars who are searching for a Piece of Eden in modern day London. There are regularly short sequences in modern times, but the game is almost entirely played in the simulation of London following the Assassin twins Jacob and Evie Frye who look for Pieces of Eden.
