March Release Date Confirmed for Carmen Sandiego

Gameloft and Harper Collins Productions have announced the release date for the Carmen Sandiego game on Nintendo Switch.

In honor of the iconic scarlet-clad thief’s 40th anniversary, players will get to don her famous red hat and embark on her latest mission as a vigilante thief who swipes treasures from other criminals to safeguard the world’s valuables.

This new adventure builds on the success of the award-winning Netflix animated series, taking you on a thrilling journey of espionage. As Carmen, you’ll use an array of high-tech gadgets to hunt down the notorious VILE criminal networks scattered across countries.

The game brings several exciting features, as outlined by the publisher:

Become The Mastermind: For the first time, step into the shoes of Carmen Sandiego herself! Immerse yourself in her thrilling world of espionage, and experience her exciting escapades as you outmaneuver VILE operatives.

Gear Up: Carmen isn’t the legendary thief she is without her gadgets! Soar smoothly through the skies with her glider, swing between buildings with her grappling hook, and enhance your sight in the dark with night vision and thermal goggles.

Travel The Globe: Get ready for a whirlwind tour through iconic destinations like the vibrant streets of Rio de Janeiro to the grand landmarks of Tokyo. With breathtaking visuals and immersive environments, each location feels alive, beckoning you to explore, uncover, and unpack the mysteries hidden within.

Solve Capers: Put your detective skills to the test as you gather clues, crack codes, and tackle varied mini-games to outwit VILE’s elusive agents. But watch the clock! Stay alert, think quickly, and act precisely to crack safes, infiltrate systems, and master lockpicking before time runs out.

Capture Vile: Piece together clues and compare with dossiers to identify VILE operatives. Whether their hair is black, red, or they have blue eyes, your deductive reasoning is key. Remember, you need a warrant before you can make an arrest! Can you solve the case and bring VILE to justice, or will they slip through your fingers?

Carmen Sandiego is set for a digital release on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch around the world on March 4, 2025, with a physical release to follow in mid-April 2025.
