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 from her criminal past to take on her former allies in the secret criminal syndicate, V.I.L.E. As players, you'll join Sandiego on her worldwide quest to track down and capture V.I.L.E. agents. The game introduces a mix of exploration, subterfuge, and exciting hang-gliding minigames, offering a fresh take on the series that traditionally relied on point-and-click mechanics and portrayed Sandiego as the villain.

The decision to launch Carmen Sandiego on Netflix ahead of other platforms underscores the importance of her reinvention as a vigilante. It's a strategic move by Netflix to offer its subscribers early access to what could be a AAA-style experience developed by Gameloft. This move not only enhances the value for Netflix subscribers but also positions the platform as a key player in mobile gaming.

With a variety of features, Gameloft's first major venture into this genre shows promise. However, the true reception of Carmen Sandiego will only be clear once players get their hands on it.
