Gameloft and Harper Collins Productions have confirmed a release date for Carmen Sandiego, which is coming to Nintendo Switch.
Helping to celebrate the scarlet super thief’s 40th anniversary, you will adorn her signature red hat and continue her journey as a vigilante who now steals from thieves to protect the world’s treasure.
This original adventure looks to build on the success of the award-winning Netflix animated series, in which you will use high-tech gadgets to navigate a world of espionage to track down VILE criminal syndicates scattered across real-world locations.
The publisher has outlined the game’s key features, which include:
- Become The Mastermind: For the very first time in the history of the franchise, assume the role of Carmen Sandiego herself! Dive headfirst into her world of espionage, experiencing her escapades firsthand as you outwit VILE operatives.
- Gear Up: Carmen Sandiego wouldn’t be the legendary thief she is without tools! Glide effortlessly through the air with her trusty glider, swing from building to building with her grappling hook, and see in the dark with her night vision and thermal imaging goggles.
- Travel The Globe: From the bustling streets of Rio de Janeiro to the majestic landmarks of Tokyo, embark on a whirlwind tour of the world’s most iconic destinations. With stunning visuals and immersive environments, every location comes to life, inviting you to explore, discover, and unravel the secrets that lie within.
- Solve Capers: Sharpen your detective skills as you gather clues, decipher codes, and tackle a variety of mini-games to outsmart VILE’s most elusive operatives. But beware, time is of the essence! Stay sharp, think fast, and act decisively to crack safes, hack into systems, and master the art of lockpicking before it’s too late.
- Capture Vile: Gather clues and compare them to dossiers to uncover VILE operatives. Is their hair black, red, or do they have blue eyes? Use your deductive skills to narrow down suspects. But remember, a warrant is essential before making any arrests! Will you crack the case and bring VILE to justice, or will they evade capture?
Carmen Sandiego will be released at digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch worldwide on 4 March 2025, and physically at retail in mid-April 2025.
