The classic 1980s edutainment series, Carmen Sandiego, is making a comeback in a new video game. Gameloft, HarperCollins Productions, and Netflix Games have joined forces to bring this iconic character back to life. The new Carmen Sandiego game is inspired by the 2019 Netflix TV series, where Sandiego is portrayed as a protagonist fighting against the evil organization known as VILE.
An Exciting Adventure Awaits
In this new game, players will step into the shoes of Carmen Sandiego and work alongside a mysterious character known as ‘Player’ to travel the world and take down VILE. The gameplay involves exploring real-world locations and engaging in puzzle-solving to uncover the operations of the nefarious organization. The trailer for the game showcases a fresh gameplay style, offering a new and exciting experience for fans of the original series.
Exploring Global Destinations
Players can look forward to visiting various iconic locations around the world in the new Carmen Sandiego game. From Brisbane, Australia to Cairo, Egypt, Tokyo, Japan, and Reykjavik, Iceland, the game promises to take players on a thrilling adventure across the globe. The inclusion of Brisbane as a location is a pleasant surprise, given its lesser-known status compared to Sydney and Melbourne.
One of the most exciting aspects of the new Carmen Sandiego game is the promised “ACME Files” mode, which pays homage to the classic gameplay of the original series. Fans can expect a “classic mode” that will capture the essence of the 80s Carmen Sandiego games, offering a nostalgic experience for long-time players. The blend of old-school investigation-style gameplay with modern graphics and mechanics is sure to appeal to both old and new fans alike.
Carmen Sandiego is scheduled to launch in the first quarter of 2025, starting with a release on Netflix for mobile devices. The game will later become available on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch, allowing players across different platforms to join in on the adventure. With its updated gameplay mechanics and a fresh take on the beloved character, Carmen Sandiego is set to captivate a whole new generation of fans.
