Before he became the world’s greatest detective, Sherlock Holmes was a brilliant rebel desperate to prove himself. When an old wound forces him to return to the Mediterranean coast where his mother died, it seems like the perfect opportunity to do just that, but beneath the island’s vibrant urban veneer, the rhythm of island life beats a more sinister beat. Crime and corruption, a twisted sense of justice and morality—these are just a few of the obstacles on Sherlock’s quest for the truth.
Your legacy as Sherlock is written by the decisions you make in this open-world detective adventure. Deception, violence and a sounding board are another. Whether you use brute force to solve problems or use your wits to spot their weaknesses to stay one step ahead of your enemies, you decide what each situation demands as you hone your investigative skills. It’s time to confront your past, so you can become the legend you were destined to be.
The Man Before.
As a horseman, young Sherlock Holmes stands on the brink of adulthood. You will build your reputation in a way no game or story has ever explored before. Before the legend, we had never seen the man’s youthful arrogance and naivety. Now you’re living it.
Global Investigation.
You never know where the next clue will come from. Explore and use the entire city in pursuit of the truth, using clues, rumors, disguises, tags, and fixed evidence to build a solid case in your mind.
And Stay Down.
Guns may help you in a pinch, but there’s something to be said for style, and you have it in spades. Spot enemy vulnerabilities with your brilliant observation skills, or use the environment to take someone down while keeping your hands clean.
A Different Jon.
Before Jon Watson, there was a different Jon. Your best and only friend. But who is he, really?
A Darkening Tide.
Set in the 19th century, a bustling island in the Mediterranean promises anything but paradise. Political corruption and crime abound, while the islanders cling to tradition and avoid outsiders, making your job even harder.
Truth and Lies
There are two sides to every story, and the proud islanders have their own ideas about truth and justice. It’s up to you to decide whether uncovering the truth will do more harm than good, and how it will shape the man you will become.
DualSense Controller Features
It was recently announced that DualSense controller features will be supported on Sherlock Holmes Chapter One on PlayStation 5. There are many situations where you will feel haptic vibrations. For example, when you are trying to deduce where you are putting together evidence at a crime scene, you may feel vibrations that change when you enter a mental state and instinctively feel like you are on the right track. They have taken haptic intuition to another level. When observing a crime scene, you will feel a vibration from the controller encouraging you to look left or right. Your controller will notify you when you engage in hostilities, take vibration damage, and deal damage to your opponent as well.
