Frogwares has announced that the final DLC for Sherlock Holmes Chapter One, titled M For Mystery, is now available. The developer team also shared an update on how it is faring in Ukraine. “Mycroft’s agents were outsmarted, and confidential documents have been stolen,” we’re told. “You are tasked with locating a shadowy figure known only as M. It appears there is a worthy opponent at large on Cordona.”Most recently, alongside the announcement that Sherlock Holmes: The Devil’s Daughter would be coming to Switch, Frogwares also shared a statement about the current situation in Ukraine. “As you know, Ukraine is embroiled in a horrendous war with Russia, which of course affects the lives of millions of people, including our team members,” Frogwares says. “Put simply, we need to keep the studio alive and functioning to the best of our abilities now more than ever. Nobody on the team is expected to work, only those who can and want to.” Frogwares continues to add that some of the team have found safety abroad or in “safer locations” in Ukraine, while others are volunteering for humanitarian efforts. Some have gone to make up part of the defence forces. Some members of the team are still working remotely. “We continue to pay all of these people on the team. For those fighting or volunteering, each of their spots on the team will be waiting for them at the end of the war. But essentially it is through a collection of staff that either fled Ukraine to neighbouring EU countries and those who have relocated to safer areas who are keeping Frogwares going right now.”We are an independent studio with no external financing, investors, or parent company keeping us afloat. So it’s up to us alone and through the support of our players wanting to play our games that will keep this studio alive. And as this war drags out more and more, we and people all around Ukraine are seeing that even if they are not involved in the fighting directly, they need to somehow keep things moving forward. So that when this is all over and it’s time to rebuild and restart, we are not starting from zero.”
