Carmen Sandiego Confirms March Launch Date

Gameloft and Harper Collins Productions have exciting news for fans of the iconic Carmen Sandiego. They’ve officially announced that our favorite scarlet thief is making her way to the Nintendo Switch.

In celebration of her 40th anniversary, players will get the chance to sport that famous red hat once more, stepping into the shoes of a vigilante who cleverly turns the tables on thieves to safeguard the world’s treasures.

This new game is an original adventure seeking to capitalize on the triumph of the Netflix animated series. Players will employ cutting-edge gadgets in a thrilling world of espionage as they hunt down VILE’s notorious criminal syndicates in famed global locales.

Here’s a sneak peek of what you can expect from the game’s standout features:

Become The Mastermind: For the first time ever, players will embody Carmen Sandiego herself! Immerse yourself in her world, experiencing the thrill of espionage and outsmarting VILE operatives at every turn.

Gear Up: Carmen wouldn’t be the legendary thief we know without her trusty gear. Zip through the sky with her glider, swing across skyscrapers with her grappling hook, and navigate through the darkness with night vision and thermal goggles.

Travel The Globe: Journey from the bustling streets of Rio de Janeiro to the awe-inspiring sights of Tokyo. The game offers breathtaking visuals and immersive environments, making each destination vibrant and full of secrets to uncover.

Solve Capers: Hone your detective skills by gathering clues, cracking codes, and engaging in challenging mini-games to outwit VILE’s elusive masterminds. Time is your enemy, so move quickly and decisively to hack into systems and master lockpicking before it’s too late.

Capture Vile: Use clues and dossiers to zero in on VILE operatives. Do they have black, red hair, or perhaps blue eyes? Employ your keen deductive skills to narrow down the suspects. But remember, you need a warrant before you can make an arrest. Can you crack the case and bring VILE to justice, or will they slip away?

Carmen Sandiego is set to launch digitally on the Nintendo eShop for the Nintendo Switch worldwide on March 4, 2025. If you prefer physical copies, look forward to the mid-April 2025 release in retail stores.
