While Sherlock Holmes got plenty of video game adventures, famed detective Hercule Poirot never really managed to find his place in the gaming realm thanks to the efforts of Frogware. Microids Lyon Studio will be looking to change that in the upcoming Agatha Christie – Murder on the Orient Express.
In this title, the famous detective faces one of his most iconic cases, all set aboard the striking Continental train. Unlike recent film adaptations of the story, this will be set in the present day, a choice intended to bring new twists to the story. Beyond that, Poirot isn’t alone in his efforts, as he’ll bring new sidekick Joanna Locke along for the ride to illustrate catching the perpetrator.
To get a sneak peek at the upcoming game, you can watch the Gamescom trailer below to see what players will have in store, launching on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch on October 19, 2023 .
