Today i was browsing the Frogwares website( Check it out it has a new design - www.frogwares.com ) and i clicked on the games section.There I saw a new Sherlock Holmes game in development.It is said Q3 2007 for release.The present name of the new Sherlock Holmes game is "Adventures of Sherlock Holmes: Sherlock Holmes against Arsene Lupin"
Here it is the description:
Adventure PC game - release Q3 2007 - under development
In the fourth chapter, our favourite detective, Sherlock Holmes, receives a strange letter signed "Arsene Lupin", the famous gentleman thief. The latter challenges Holmes to prevent him from doing the incredible robberies that he has planned to do here, in London, with the purpose of humiliate England itself. With patriotic fervor, the English detective decides to stop the Frenchman but the task will not be easy: Lupin's skill, his numerous disguises, and his audacity transform this chase into a matter of honour and integrity for the two men. Two wits are fighting together in 19th century London where even the Queen Herself could have cause for concern!
Also i scrolled the page down and found that Frogwares are working on a new Dracula game.Here is what they say about the game and why they are going to make it: "Encouraged by our successes in problem-solving and adventure games, as well as our passion for the fantastic world of the 19th century, we have started to work on Dracula".
The name of the new Dracula game is : "Dracula:Origins" .
Here is the Description:
Adventure PC game - Release in 2008 - work in progress
How did Dracula become a vampire? He was a passionate, deeply religious man, but was broken by his wife's suicide; the soul of the woman he worshipped was damned! Crazy with grief and rage, he damned himself by choosing the Devil. He hid the profound suffering of the loss of his love and became an immortal monster, devoted to destruction. His inconsolable sorrow and his infinite hate carry him to search eternally for revenge; thus, he discovers that there exists somewhere an antediluvian manuscript with the details of a ritual , a ritual that would show how to awaken the infernal souls. At last, Dracula thinks he has found the way to bring back to life his love from beyond… for starters. You are Professor Van Helsing, and your life is devoted to the elimination of Dracula. You must prevent Dracula from finding and using the manuscript; you must help everyone who crossed paths with the count and refused to serve him; you must eliminate Count Dracula. The inquiry leads you from London to an Egyptian necropolis, from a Viennese palace to a cursed monastery, to finish in the famous lair of Dracula. A delightfully gothic adventure game.
Another great news from them is that the first Sherlock Holmes game - The Mystery of the mummy is going to be released for the Nintendo DS handheld console.According to me DS is a great for adventure games.There are several adventure games that are out now and several that are going to be released this year - the two PR games , Ankh , Nancy Drew , Sherlock Holmes(i think that in another interview i read that maybe other Sherlock Holmes games made by Frogwares could find their way to the DS too , and their other games too.) , Sinking Island , etc.I see a great possibility for other adventure games released in the past to be released for the DS too , but the time will tell.
That is for now.Browse Frogwares's games section page and see at the bottom.There is another game in development right now , but no info about it.
