Carmen Sandiego out now on iOS and Android exclusively via Netflix Games

Get ready, detectives and adventurers alike! Carmen Sandiego has made her thrilling return, and she's now available right in the palm of your hand. Exclusively for Netflix subscribers, the newest entry in the beloved Carmen Sandiego series is out now on iOS and Android devices. This early release offers fans a unique opportunity to dive into the action before it hits other platforms.

In this latest installment, Carmen Sandiego shifts from her notorious criminal past to become a globe-trotting vigilante. She's on a mission to thwart her former allies at the secret criminal syndicate, V.I.L.E. Players will join Carmen as she travels the world, tracking down and capturing V.I.L.E. agents through a mix of exploration, stealth, and even hang-gliding mini-games. This new direction marks a departure from the series' traditional point-and-click mechanics, where Carmen was often cast as the antagonist.

The decision to bring Carmen Sandiego to Netflix games ahead of other platforms underscores the significance of her character reinvention. It's a clear signal of Netflix's commitment to delivering top-tier gaming experiences to its subscribers. Developed by Gameloft, this title aims to provide a AAA-style experience, adding substantial value to the Netflix gaming catalog.

With a host of innovative features, Gameloft's venture into this genre could be a game-changer. However, the true test will be in how players receive this new take on Carmen Sandiego.
