Gameloft and Harper Collins Productions have officially announced when you can get your hands on Carmen Sandiego for the Nintendo Switch.
To mark the 40th anniversary of the iconic crimson-caped thief, players will don her signature red attire and step into her shoes as she evolves into a vigilante, cleverly stealing from other thieves to safeguard the world’s treasures.
This brand-new adventure aims to capitalize on the success of Netflix’s award-winning animated series, taking players on a high-tech escapade through a world filled with intrigue. As Carmen, you will pursue VILE criminal networks in meticulously detailed real-world settings.
Here’s what the publisher has revealed about the game’s standout features:
Become The Mastermind: For the first time ever, you’ll get to become Carmen Sandiego herself! Immerse yourself in her thrilling world of espionage, experiencing her daring adventures and matching wits with VILE agents personally.
Gear Up: What would Carmen be without her trusty gadgets? Soar through the skies with her glider, use her grappling hook to swing between obstacles, and navigate the dark with her night vision and thermal imaging goggles.
Travel The Globe: Set off on a thrilling global journey from Rio de Janeiro’s vibrant streets to Tokyo’s awe-inspiring sights. Each locale is designed with stunning visuals, creating an immersive experience that invites players to explore and uncover hidden mysteries.
Solve Capers: Test your detective abilities by piecing together clues, breaking codes, and engaging in a variety of mini-games to outsmart VILE’s trickiest agents. But keep an eye on the clock! You’ll need to act quickly to crack safes, hack systems, and master lockpicking before time runs out.
Capture VILE: Gather clues and match them against dossiers to pinpoint VILE operatives. Is their hair black or red? Do they have blue eyes? Use your detective skills to narrow down suspects, but remember, you’ll need a warrant before making any arrests! Can you solve the case and bring VILE to justice, or will they slip away?
Mark your calendars as Carmen Sandiego hits the Nintendo eShop globally on March 4, 2025, with physical copies arriving in stores around mid-April 2025.
