Netflix Announces New Carmen Sandiego Game

As a child of the ’80s, I can vividly remember the excitement that came with each new adventure of Carmen Sandiego. The anticipation, the thrill, and the satisfaction of solving global mysteries was unparalleled. So, when I heard about the return of my beloved thief to the world of video games, I could hardly contain myself!


In a twist from previous installments, Carmen Sandiego is stepping into the role of the player’s character in an upcoming video game. This new game, simply named Carmen Sandiego, is inspired by the popular Netflix animated series. The game will initially be accessible to Netflix subscribers via mobile devices, with plans for wider release on other platforms such as PC, Nintendo Switch, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S starting early 2025.

In the trailer for the upcoming game, Carmen Sandiego, it’s evident that there will be some new twists, as players are now equipped with multiple gadgets during their adventure. Nevertheless, the game maintains many of the features that made the original series a hit among gamers. The latest installment in the franchise finds players chasing after villains at diverse locations worldwide, such as Tokyo and Rio de Janeiro. Similar to the ’80s games, the new Carmen Sandiego will involve players gathering clues by talking to non-player characters (NPCs) and compiling dossiers on suspects. Additionally, a classic mode called The Acme Files will be included. This mode will showcase a vintage visual style that harks back to the original Carmen Sandiego PC games.

The well-known series, Carmen Sandiego, is being created by the game company, Gameloft, who are also responsible for the widely appreciated Disney Dreamlight Valley. As confirmed by the developers, this upcoming game will be a solo-player adventure title, devoid of in-game transactions or online multiplayer features. In a press statement, Manea Castet, studio manager at Gameloft Brisbane, discussed their aim to preserve the classic aspects of the series while simultaneously introducing something fresh and innovative.

It’s truly a privilege to contribute to the next installment of Carmen Sandiego’s escapades, reviving this cherished, iconic character. Our team takes immense pride in preserving the franchise’s heritage while infusing it with fresh, groundbreaking elements, as we strive to maintain its essence while offering something new and exhilarating. Our ambition is to deliver an experience that evokes nostalgia while also offering a thrilling, novel adventure. We eagerly anticipate both long-time enthusiasts and newcomers diving in and appreciating the care and dedication we’ve poured into every aspect of our work.
