Evaluation
Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments launched on September 29, 2014 as a complete, self-contained detective adventure featuring six cases. The game's single DLC — a Digital Book — was released on October 5, 2019, which represents the last piece of content added to the game. All developer news posts from 2021 onward relate exclusively to Frogwares' newer titles (Sherlock Holmes Chapter One and Sherlock Holmes The Awakened), with no announcements of additional content for Crimes and Punishments. There are no unreleased DLC entries, no developer statements about future updates, and no post-launch content cadence to suggest more is coming. The game is a complete, finished product.
Evidence
The sole DLC — a Digital Book — was released on October 5, 2019. All DLC for the game has shipped.
Most recent news post announces a release date for Sherlock Holmes The Awakened — a separate, newer Frogwares game. No content announcements for Crimes and Punishments.
