Do you remember a story from back in September 2019 when it was announced that Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments would be pulled from the PlayStation Store thanks to a dispute with publisher Focus Home Interactive? Well, we're happy to report that the issue appears to have been resolved as developer Frogwares has today relisted the game on PlayStation in Europe -- meaning it is now once again available for purchase across the EU and US.
What's more, the studio has now teased that we could be seeing more from the world-famous detective in the future despite the team's more recent work on its own IP, The Sinking City. Spoken of in a tweet earlier today, Frogwares said: "And rest assured, this is only the beginning for the world's greatest detective!"
It is unclear whether the developer is referring to an entirely new game or another repackaging of its previous effort on PlayStation 3, The Testament of Sherlock Holmes, but the news is welcome all the same. Sherlock Holmes: Crimes & Punishments can now be bought for £32.99/$39.99 if you feel so inclined. Do you hope to see more from Holmes and Watson? Get sleuthing in the comments below.

It's actually a very good game.
Is this the one with Slender Watson?
@nessisonett Not sure, I just remember that Crime & Punishments was a much better game than the follow up game Devil's Daughter.
@East76landS Thats right, DD was not as good, and though I liked Sinking City, it was technically a bit of a mess. I hope they go back to Crimes and Punishments Holmes and Watson.
@East76landS devils daughter is up there as one of the most disappointing games I’ve ever played. I absolutely loved Crime and Punishment and liked the earlier ones but they somehow managed to completely kill the series for me.
its to expensive now
@brubeck hopefully it will be part of a flash sale at some point.
Agreed that Crimes & Punishment was very good, hope we get to see another game as good as that.
Crimes and Punishments is really good. MUCH better than Devil's Daughter.
I'd like another one. I got stuck in the second case but was very impressed by the first case. You could fail and had to think. and then the final decision after you find the right person (hopefully) (let let them go thinking they did self defense for example, or to make them pay for the crime) isn't said to be right or wrong, you just have to decide for yourself. I don't know of another game like it want to see more.
Great news! I must be in the minority as I loved DD almost as much as Crimes & Punishments. Definitely looking forward to more.
