Wondering where in the world Carmen Sandiego is? Look no further than your mobile device! As of today, you can dive into the latest installment of the Carmen Sandiego series on both iOS and Android, but there's a catch—you need to be a Netflix subscriber to join the adventure early.
In this thrilling new chapter, Carmen Sandiego takes on the role of a globe-trotting vigilante, shifting away from her former identity as a criminal. She now battles her old allies from the nefarious secret syndicate, V.I.L.E. As Carmen, players will travel the world, using a mix of exploration, stealth, and even hang-gliding minigames to thwart V.I.L.E. agents.
Unlike previous entries in the series, which were primarily point-and-click adventures with Carmen as the villain, this game marks a significant shift. The early release on Netflix ahead of other platforms underscores the importance of this new portrayal of Carmen as a heroic figure.
This move by Netflix to bring Carmen Sandiego to their platform first is a strategic one. Developed by Gameloft, this game could offer a AAA-style experience to fans, adding significant value to Netflix subscriptions by providing access to major releases before they hit other platforms.
With a variety of features, Gameloft's foray into this genre looks promising, but only time will tell how well Carmen Sandiego will be received by the gaming community.
