Ukrainian-based game development company Frogwares has released a video detailing the hardships the company is facing due to ongoing aggression by Russia military forces, which the team says has forced it to delay its upcoming Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened remaster. Originally planned for a release in February, the team is delaying the game until March or April of this year.

The video footage of Frogwares' development team members explains that Russian bombing of Ukrainian infrastructure, including targeted attacks against the nation's power grid, have caused the government to schedule blackouts — which can sometimes last for days at a time — in order to curb the nation's energy shortfall. "Our air defense forces counter around 80 percent of the rockets," claims the video's narrator, who pulls no punches when it comes to criticizing the military action, "but it only takes one hit to obliterate our buildings and power stations."

The video shows a development team member arriving home from work and having to light candles due to lack of electricity. "Sometimes there's electricity at the office when there isn't any at home, and vice versa, so we have to shuffle between the office and our homes several times a day," another team member explained. The studio is based in Kyiv, but many employees still work remotely from other locations, so their work time can be even more limited based on their access to electricity, and it is difficult to coordinate actions because not everyone can communicate at the same time.

Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened is an adventure title in which the literary world's most famous detective goes on an unusually creepy instigation of a cult that worships the ancient cosmic being known as Cthulu, leading Holmes and Dr. Watson on an intercontinental quest for answers. Pitting the most famous characters crafted by legendary authors Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and H.P. Lovecraft against one another, the game was originally released in 2007 for PC and was the third in the developer's Sherlock Holmes series, following Sherlock Holmes: The Mystery of the Mummy and Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Silver Earring.

The remastered version of the game, which is planned for release on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, in addition to PC, has been highly anticipated by its staunch fan base. When the developers turned to crowdfunding via Kickstarter last August, donors exceeded the $71,000 fundraising goal in less than six hours.
