Carmen Sandiego now available on iOS, Android through Netflix Games exclusively

Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego? Right in the palm of your hand! Starting today, you can dive into the newest entry in the Carmen Sandiego series on iOS and Android, exclusively for Netflix subscribers.

In this game, Carmen Sandiego, the iconic criminal turned vigilante, embarks on a global adventure to confront her former allies in the secret criminal syndicate, V.I.L.E. Players will join her as she tracks down and captures V.I.L.E. agents, utilizing exploration, subterfuge, and even hang-gliding minigames to aid her mission.

This latest installment marks a departure from previous games, which primarily featured point-and-click mechanics and portrayed Sandiego as the antagonist. The shift to a globe-trotting vigilante role underscores the innovative direction of this reboot. The fact that Carmen Sandiego is now available to play on Netflix ahead of other platforms highlights the significance of this transformation.

It's no surprise that Netflix is eager to launch Carmen Sandiego on their platform early. Developed by Gameloft, this game marks their first venture into major multiplatform releases and promises a AAA-style experience for fans. This early access could add significant value for Netflix subscribers, offering them top-tier game launches before others.

With a host of exciting features, Gameloft's inaugural major effort in this genre appears promising. However, the true reception of Carmen Sandiego remains to be seen.
