Agatha Christie The ABC Murders Release Date
Paris - December 10, in the year of our Lord 2015
-- Publisher Microïds and developers Artefacts Studio unveil the
release date for Europe and U.S., the main illustration and the
last of three behind the scenes videos about the investigation
game for PS4, Xbox One, PC and Mac "The ABC Murders" based on
Agatha Christie’s famous novel.
HERCULE POIROT, FROM INK TO PIXELS
This last video from the creators of the game tells us more
about the personality and the unique style of Agatha Christie’s
famous detective. Several prestigious actors, including Peter
Ustinov and Albert Finney have played the role of the Belgian
detective. But it was David Suchet who became the hero of
“Agatha Christie’s Poirot”, the British series that was
broadcast worldwide from 1989, and who really made a mark on
everyone’s mind. This actor’s performance has inspired the
pixelized Hercule Poirot in "Agatha Christie - The ABC Murders".
* The posture and facial expression of this quite small and
potbellied, yet gifted, mustachioed detective have been included
in the game. A bit dandy and sometimes almost arrogant, he comes
to life thanks to the graphic designers assisted by French
cartoonist.
* At any time, the players can switch between French and English
dubbing. This allows the players to enjoy all the language
tricks slipped in the dialogues to remind them of the
non-British origins of the investigator. In the original
version, some French “mon ami” or “voyezvous?” can be heard in
the dialogues.
"Agatha Christie – The ABC Murders" adventure game is due to be
released Febuary 4th, 2016 in Europe and 23 th in the U.S. on
PS4, Xbox One, PC and Mac. It is dubbed in English and French
and subtitled in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish,
Brazilian Portuguese, Polish and Russian.
The starting point of the screenplay in a nutshell
A mysterious letter from a certain "A.B.C" is sent to the famous
detective announcing a murder which is about to be committed.
Even more worrying is the disconcerting confidence of the serial
killer, who does not hesitate to mock the police forces and
question Hercule Poirot's intelligence!
The chase will lead the player around England for an
investigation against the clock in which it will be necessary to
be observant, quick-witted and level-headed.
