Gameloft and Harper Collins Productions have announced when Carmen Sandiego will make her grand debut on the Nintendo Switch.
Marking the 40th anniversary of the iconic crimson-clad thief, players will don her signature red hat and embark on an exciting journey where Carmen, now a hero of sorts, snatches treasures from villains to protect the world’s cultural riches.
This fresh adventure hopes to capture the charm of the acclaimed Netflix animated series. Here, you’ll rely on high-tech gadgets and a knack for espionage as you chase after the VILE criminal syndicates scattered across real-world locations.
The game’s publisher has shared some exciting features that players can look forward to:
Become The Mastermind: Step into the shoes of Carmen Sandiego herself for the first time ever in the franchise! Immerse yourself in her thrilling world of espionage, outsmarting VILE henchmen as you go.
Gear Up: Carmen wouldn’t be the legendary figure she is without her gadgets. Soar through the skies with her trusted glider, swing between skyscrapers with her grappling hook, and use her night vision and thermal goggles to see in the dark.
Travel The Globe: From the lively streets of Rio de Janeiro to the awe-inspiring sites of Tokyo, get ready for a whirlwind adventure across some of the world’s most iconic places. The gorgeous visuals and immersive settings are sure to draw you in as you uncover the secrets each location holds.
Solve Capers: Hone your detective skills by collecting clues, cracking codes, and tackling a myriad of mini-games to outwit VILE’s trickiest operatives. But be warned, the clock is ticking! Stay on your toes, be quick-witted, and act swiftly to crack safes, hack systems, and perfect your lockpicking before time runs out.
Capture VILE: Piece together clues and cross-reference them with dossiers to unmask VILE operatives. Is their hair black, red, or do their eyes stand out in blue? Sharpen your deductive thinking to identify the suspects. Remember, you need a warrant before making any arrests! Will you be able to solve the case and ensure VILE faces justice, or will they manage to give you the slip?
Come March 4, 2025, gamers worldwide can snag Carmen Sandiego digitally from the Nintendo eShop. For those who prefer a physical copy, it will hit retail shelves in mid-April 2025. Keep an eye out for the thrilling trailer that sets the stage for Carmen’s latest escapade!
