The infamous globetrotter is back with the first, major relaunch of this beloved game, a single-player premium puzzle adventure game, with no in-game purchases or online play.

Carmen Sandiego marks the latest milestone in Gameloft's expansion into cross-platform gaming, following the resounding success of their previous titles: Disney Dreamlight Valley, Disney Speedstorm, and The Oregon Trail, which was also co-produced with HarperCollins Productions.

This game launch marks another big moment of growth in the Carmen Sandiego franchise. Since the 1980s, Carmen Sandiego has fascinated fans worldwide as they tried to capture her. In 2019, Carmen returned in the Emmy and Annie award-winning animated series on Netflix produced by HarperCollins Productions along with a robust publishing program of 10 books.  A live-action Carmen Sandiego movie is also in development at Netflix. The movie will be the first major live action story featuring the world’s greatest thief.

Just in time for her 40th anniversary, Carmen's iconic legacy continues with an all-new gaming adventure set to intrigue gumshoes of all ages in 2025. The original 1985 game, "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?" introduced her as the main antagonist, leading a global syndicate of criminals known as VILE. In an exhilarating twist, players will now don the signature red coat and hat of Carmen Sandiego and play as her for the very first time. Players will experience the thrill of being the notorious super thief as they navigate a world of espionage, utilize high-tech gadgets, and ultimately capture VILE.

Gameloft and Harper Collins Productions are delighted to announce that Carmen Sandiego is set to launch globally on digital platforms on March 4, 2025 with pre-orders now available on PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch. 

Additionally, an exclusive 40th Anniversary physical edition will release in late April 2025, available through Amazon and other leading retailers including GameStop, Best Buy, Target, and Walmart.

Adding to the excitement, Carmen Sandiego will debut exclusively on Netflix Games for iOS and Android devices starting January 28, 2025, allowing Netflix members to be the first to experience the escapades of being the world’s greatest thief directly from their mobile devices at no additional charge.

Carmen Sandiego is now available for pre-registration on both Google Play and App Store.
