The Carmen Sandiego reboot, announced last year by Gameloft, has a release date, and you won't need to search the world for it, as it's coming to Switch on 4th March 2025 (thanks, Gematsu).
The game will be released digitally first before a physical version follows in April 2025, which will celebrate the iconic series' 40th anniversary.
There will be two digital versions of the game — the Standard release will just include the base game and will cost USD $29.99, while the Digital Deluxe edition costs an additional $20, and includes a special Anniversary Caper, two cosmetic skins, a digital soundtrack, and a digital artbook.
Based on the Netflix reboot of the same name, you're not trying to chase the legendary vigilante — you're actually playing as her as she's the hero. You'll be uncovering mysteries, sneaking around, and exploring the world.
Are you a Carmen Sandiego fan? Will you be checking this out on Switch this March? Head on down to the comments below and let us know.

(IDC if it is immature, I want the world to know, I was FIRST )
I thought it was Pauline lol...
Crossover when??
Looking forward to seeing how this ends up being as I'm interested in eventually playing it myself if it's overall good!
Playing AS Camen as a Heroine? WtF?
I hope Greg Lee and Rockapella make a cameo appearance
@Spider-Kev yea, this reboot was totally backwards. lame. hard pass.
The show is a blast, hoping for some solid work here!
Looking forward to this!
Just watched the trailer of the game, I’m so excited to play this game, I’m buying this game day one when it comes out on the Nintendo Switch
The only Carmen Sandiego game i knew of were "Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?" from 1985 on Amiga.
Made by the legendary Broderbund.
Gameloft did an outstanding job with The Oregon Trail. I'm sure this will be no different. Can't wait! It's like having my second grade computer lab on my Switch.
@Toastmaster for me it was Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego on the SNES. It came with an encyclopedia to help look for answers to the clues in the game.
I am now confused. Was Carmen ALWAYS the a secret hero?I swear the 90s cartoon had me convinced she was the baddie, and I never thought otherwise, but then I heard that she was good in some netflix show? And was basically just taking back treasure for cultures all along..the real bad guys were the museums or something. And then I was not sure what she did in the 90s cartoon.
Lol. It has to be the show I had least understanding of following as a child. I saw it all the time and never understood it.
Have the original as an unlockable and I'm sold.
@Truedoogie That's cool.
@Truedoogie I had the NES version that came the encyclopedia.
It's a shame it looks so ugly but if the gameplay is solid I might check it out eventually.
The presentation is actually very similar to Horizon Chase Turbo... but it's like no-one realised HCT works with that look because it's basing itself on the old Top Gear games. The look doesn't make sense with Carmen - so it just comes off as a bit budget.
Pauline?? Is that you?!?!
@Mana_Knight
That's revisionist.
She was stealing because she was bad and selling to the highest bidder.
Revisionist history is now her stealing to give back (Robin Hood-esque)
I can't wait to oversee my evil empire!
Go V.I.L.E.!
Loved the old old show and games also enjoyed the recent new show. Wish they would try to continue it if they see s spark with the game release.
@Chocobo_Shepherd I really liked the new show it was kinda like Lupin or Cat's Eye.
The much better 90's cartoon series starring Rita Moreno as Carmen is fully on YouTube.
@Mana_Knight : Its only on the Netflix show and everything related to it (including this game) that she's a 'good guy'. Before the show she was an antagonist who founded (or depending on the game, was part of) the VILE organisation.
@Spider-Kev Thank you. @Coolmusic - thank you. That is so odd! It is like gaslighting! Lol! "No, she was never the bad guy...you are the bad guy for assuming it!'
I was convinced I had watched that show while somehow missing that she was bad! Haha.
^You're welcome. ^^
Now I'm getting memories of the game that was inspired by Carmen Sandiego, Mario is Missing! I know it's next to impossible but it would be nice if it popped up on NSO lol.
