Gameloft and HarperCollins Productions have finally revealed when the daring Carmen Sandiego will make her exciting debut on the Nintendo Switch.
To mark the iconic theft connoisseur’s 40th anniversary, you’ll don her classic, fiery red hat and embark on a thrilling journey as a vigilante who cleverly swipes treasures from thieves to save the world’s prized artifacts.
This all-new adventure aims to expand upon the momentum of the critically acclaimed Netflix animated series. You’ll be equipped with high-tech gear, tackling a world filled with espionage as you chase down the veiled VILE criminal syndicates that lurk within real-world locales.
Exciting features of this game have been outlined by the publisher, including:
Step Into the Mastermind’s Role: For the first time in the franchise’s storied history, take on the role of Carmen Sandiego herself! Immerse yourself in her world of espionage, relishing her daring adventures and outsmarting VILE agents.
Equip Yourself: Carmen wouldn’t be the legendary thief without her gadgets! Zip through the sky on her reliable glider, swing across cityscapes with her grappling hook, and see everything with night vision and thermal goggles.
Journey Around the Globe: From the lively streets of Rio de Janeiro to the serene landmarks of Tokyo, set off on an exhilarating tour of the world’s most famous destinations. Gorgeous visuals and captivating settings invite you to explore, discover, and unveil the mysteries each location holds.
Crack the Caper: Hone those detective skills as you gather clues, crack codes, and dive into mini-games to outwit the elusive operatives of VILE. Stay alert—time is not on your side! Think on your feet and act swiftly to break safes, bypass security systems, and master lockpicking before it’s too late.
Capture VILE: Piece together clues and compare them with detailed dossiers to identify VILE members. Is their hair color black, perhaps red, or maybe they have striking blue eyes? Use your deductive skills to narrow down the suspects. Remember, you need a warrant before making any move! Can you solve the puzzle and bring VILE to justice, or will they slip through your fingers?
Carmen Sandiego is set to launch digitally on the Nintendo eShop for the Nintendo Switch worldwide on March 4, 2025, followed by a physical release hitting retailers in mid-April 2025.
