Sherlock Holmes is about to go on a new adventure, as Focus Home Interactive have announced they’re bringing Sherlock Holmes versus Arsene Lupin to PC later in 2007.
In the game, two of the greatest figures in detective literature will square off in a 3D adventure. From the publisher:
“This new Sherlock Holmes game sends players to 19th Century London where Arsene Lupin, a young French burglar with an impressive track record, has just challenged Scotland Yard and the most famous of detectives – Sherlock Holmes. Lupin has announced that he plans to rob the capital of five objects of immense value over the course of five days. The objects are housed in highly prestigious locations such as the National Gallery, the British Museum, the Tower of London and even Buckingham Palace! Sherlock Holmes will have to muster all his courage and ingenuity to save England from terrible humiliation.
“[T]hrough real-time 3D, [t]he game invites you to visit 19th century London in all its splendor and to travel through superb decors which have been faithfully reproduced with the game’s 3D engine. With famous places and some of the most prestigious landmarks as your playing field, it is as if you are on your own guided tour of one of Europe’s most fabulous cities. If the pace of the adventure and its many surprises leaves you breathless, take a break and enjoy looking at the hundreds of works of art, all faithfully reproduced in their real locations.”
