This is one that I didn’t see coming. If you were like me you probably spent your school years playing point-and-click classic Carmen Sandiego, and she’s back in a new game that is being worked on by Gameloft Studios in Brisbane.
It’s a single-player puzzle-adventure based on the recent Netflix animated series, and it will launch on Netflix in Q1 2025 before coming to PC, PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch in the same quarter.
It will have a story-driven campaign and classic modes, but interestingly, you’ll play as Carmen Sandiego this time around, using high-tech gadgets to defeat an evil organisation.
I must say, when I saw that a new Carmen Sandiego game was on the way, I had fairly low expectations, but watching the trailer, it looks pretty fantastic both from an artistic direction but also the gameplay looks like a genuinely fun time.
