Switch eShop bestätigt Sherlock Holmes: Verbrechen & Strafen für Februar

Aktualisieren: After some not-so-subtle clues back in December, a Switch eShop listing has confirmed that a Switch port of Frogwares’ well-received detective adventure Sherlock Holmes: Verbrechen und Strafen is releasing on 3rd February.

Es wird dich zurückwerfen $29.99, although it’s currently available for 15% ausgeschaltet ($25.49, offer runs until 9th February), and anyone who already owns Die sinkende Stadt on Switch will save another 10%. The game will clock in at a meaty 8.2GB according to the listing.

Originalgeschichte [Thu 23rd Dec, 2021 12:30 GMT]: Developer Frogwares has put out a festive tweet with a none-too-subtle clue that one of its most celebrated games may be headed to Switch.

The studio — famous for its long line of Sherlock Holmes mystery games, and most recently for Die sinkende Stadt — left a hint in a festive tweet (primarily promoting the non-Switch title Sherlock Holmes: Kapitel eins) that suggests Sherlock Holmes: Verbrechen & Brawlhalla x G.I may be getting the Switch port treatment in the near future.

Wie Sie dem Tweet unten entnehmen können, the accompanying image features a Switch-like device scrawled onto the floor with chalk, with ‘C&P’ written on the screen:

Let’s get a little close-up of that, sollen wir?

Yep. Despite this Switch facsimile featuring not one but two D-pads across both Joy-Con, you really don’t need to be much of a Sherlock to divine the significance of this clue. Even Watson could get this one.

If you’re unfamiliar with the game, it launched on PC and consoles back in 2014 and was widely acclaimed as a particularly fine adventure/detective/mystery game. It’s currently got a Very Positive rating on Steam, so it’s good news to hear that it’s been framed for a Switch port.

Let us know below if there’s anything else this could possibly signify, and if you’re excited to see this one coming to Switch.
