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, but you'll need to be a Netflix subscriber to join the adventure early.
In this thrilling new game, Carmen Sandiego transitions from a notorious criminal to a globe-trotting vigilante. She's on a mission to thwart her former allies in the nefarious V.I.L.E. syndicate. Expect to explore diverse locations around the world, engage in subterfuge, and even participate in exciting hang-gliding mini-games as you help Carmen track down and capture V.I.L.E. agents.
This release marks a departure from the traditional point-and-click mechanics of earlier entries in the series, where Carmen was portrayed as the villain. The fact that Carmen Sandiego is now available exclusively on Netflix before hitting consoles and other platforms underscores the significance of her reinvention as a vigilante hero.
It's no wonder Netflix is eager to bring Carmen Sandiego to their platform early. Developed by Gameloft, this game represents their first major multiplatform release and promises a AAA-style experience for fans. Netflix subscribers get a head start on this top-tier launch, adding significant value to their membership.
With a variety of features, Gameloft's debut in this genre could be a hit, but we'll need to see how players receive Carmen Sandiego.
