The environment and audio have also been enhanced for more depth and life in the isometric game scenes across London, and a fully voiced script in English, French and German will bring the story to life.

Agatha Christie – Hercule Poirot: The London Case will be available in Summer 2023 on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, in physical and digital editions.
