Carmen Sandiego Launches on iOS, Android via Netflix Games

Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego? Right in the palm of your hand! Starting today, you can dive into the latest installment of the Carmen Sandiego series on iOS and Android, exclusively for Netflix subscribers. This early release marks a significant moment for fans eager to experience the adventures of the globe-trotting vigilante.

In this new game, Carmen Sandiego shifts her focus from her days as a criminal to her current role as a vigilante, taking on her former allies in the secret criminal syndicate, V.I.L.E. Players will join Sandiego on her worldwide journey to track down and capture V.I.L.E. agents, engaging in exploration, subterfuge, and even hang-gliding minigames along the way.

This iteration of the game diverges from the traditional point-and-click mechanics of previous entries, where Sandiego was often portrayed as the villain. The shift to a vigilante role and the early availability on Netflix before other platforms underscore the successful reinvention of her character.

It's no surprise that Netflix is keen to bring Carmen Sandiego to their platform ahead of others. As Gameloft's first major multiplatform release, it promises a AAA-style gaming experience for fans. This move also adds value for Netflix subscribers, offering them early access to top-tier game launches.

With a range of exciting features, Gameloft's venture into this genre looks promising. However, the true reception of Carmen Sandiego will only be known once players get their hands on it.
