Back at E3 Frogwares had stated that they would be looking for a next generation release for their upcoming Sherlock Holmes adventure Crimes & Punishments, and the studio have just announced today that the game will be seeing a release on the Playstation 4! As one of our top games from E3, we cannot wait to see the game in action as its release draws closer.

Alongside the great announcement a few new screenshots have been unveiled of the absolutely stunning-looking game, here’s our favourite. If you happened to miss the wonderful Summer trailer for the game released a few months back, perhaps you should take a gander, and see just what you can expect of the latest in Sherlock Holmes' adventures.

Not only does the game look gorgeous, it also marks another notable step in the series by dropping the traditional PC adventure game gameplay in favour of a more realistic investigation experience for both console and PC with 14 gameplay mechanics that will be presented in more detail over the coming months.

Players will now have the chance to truly feel like they are Sherlock Holmes, which we have agreed with past games was just not the case, and Crimes and Punishment promises players will be able to fully use Holmes' incredible talents and gifts that allow him to guess the details about an individual’s life by simply glancing at them, reconstructing the past with a mere object and deducing a culprit from all of your investigations.

Crimes & Punishments is coming early 2014 for Windows PC, Xbox 360, Playstation 4 and Playstation 3, and we seriously cannot wait!
