Sherlock’s North American publisher a mystery no more

Well, that didn't take long.

Following yesterday's announcement that the newly-renamed Sherlock Holmes: Nemesis had secured publishers for both the UK and US, today The Adventure Company announced that it will be the publisher responsible for bringing the great detective's latest mystery to North American shores. Better still, players will be sleuthing their way through 19th century London sooner than expected, as the targeted release date is next month.

Originally known as Sherlock Holmes Versus Arsène Lupin (and the name change was surely our first clue to today's news), the fourth Sherlock Holmes adventure from Frogwares presents a battle of wits between Holmes and fictional French burglar Arsène Lupin. Lupin is determined to steal five precious artifacts from London's most prestigious locales in five days, and challenges Holmes to spare Britain this national humiliation.
