Description
Gameloft has officially set the release date for its highly anticipated Carmen Sandiego reboot on Nintendo Switch, reaffirming the enduring popularity of this famous detective franchise.
Announced in 2024, the upcoming title not only brings Carmen Sandiego back into the spotlight but also celebrates the iconic series’ 40th anniversary—a remarkable milestone for a property that has entranced generations of gamers and learners alike.
According to information first shared by Gematsu, Carmen Sandiego will make her Nintendo Switch debut via a digital launch on March 4, 2025.
A physical edition is scheduled to follow in April 2025, giving fans both immediate digital access and the option for a collectible release marking this historic occasion.
Gameloft, an industry leader recognized for its extensive experience in developing high-quality licensed titles, is handling the development of this project.
The studio's recent effort adapts the modern spirit of the Netflix animated reboot, distinguishing itself from earlier entries in the franchise.
Instead of pursuing the elusive Carmen Sandiego, players will now step into her shoes as the protagonist, unraveling intricate mysteries across the globe, sneaking through vibrant environments, and solving puzzles—all presented with a new narrative perspective.
In terms of content and pricing, Gameloft has detailed two digital versions for the Nintendo Switch eShop release.
The standard edition, priced at $29.99 USD, delivers the complete base game.
Players seeking extra content can opt for the Digital Deluxe edition at $49.99 USD.
This premium package includes an exclusive Anniversary Caper mission, two cosmetic skins for customization, a digital soundtrack, and a digital artbook, catering to dedicated fans and collectors alike.
This latest entry builds on the Carmen Sandiego legacy, which began as an educational computer game in 1985 and has since evolved into multiple video games, television adaptations, and the popular Netflix animated series.
The reboot’s arrival on Nintendo Switch marks the character's return to a Nintendo handheld after several classic outings on earlier platforms, reaffirming Carmen Sandiego’s appeal to longtime enthusiasts and a new generation alike.
For those eagerly awaiting Carmen's next adventure, the digital release on March 4, 2025, is poised to deliver both nostalgia and fresh gameplay, with the collectible physical edition arriving in April for enthusiasts seeking a tangible piece of the franchise’s legacy.
