Carmen Sandiego release date set for March, new trailer

The previously-announced reboot of Carmen Sandiego just secured a release date. Gameloft will be bringing it out on March 4, 2025.

The upcoming title was previously revealed last September. Gameloft initially shared a Q1 2025 launch window.

Here’s an overview of the project:

The scarlet super thief Carmen Sandiego is back! Adorn Carmen’s signature red hat and play as the vigilante herself to navigate a world of espionage, utilizing high-tech gadgets, and ultimately capturing VILE. Rookie gumshoes and seasoned detectives are invited to put their sleuthing skills to the test whether it’s in the narrative driven main campaign or the classic mode “The Acme Files.”

Key Features

• Become the Mastermind – For the very first time in the history of the franchise, assume the role of Carmen Sandiego herself! Dive headfirst into her world of espionage, experiencing her escapades firsthand as you outwit VILE operatives.
• Gear Up – Carmen Sandiego wouldn’t be the legendary thief she is without tools! Glide effortlessly through the air with her trusty glider, swing from building to building with her grappling hook, and see in the dark with her night vision and thermal imaging goggles.
• Travel the Globe – From the bustling streets of Rio de Janeiro to the majestic landmarks of Tokyo, embark on a whirlwind tour of the world’s most iconic destinations. With stunning visuals and immersive environments, every location comes to life, inviting you to explore, discover, and unravel the secrets that lie within.
• Solve Capers – Sharpen your detective skills as you gather clues, decipher codes, and tackle a variety of mini-games to outsmart VILE’s most elusive operatives. But beware, time is of the essence! Stay sharp, think fast, and act decisively to crack safes, hack into systems, and master the art of lockpicking before it’s too late.
• Capture VILE – Gather clues and compare them to dossiers to uncover VILE operatives. Is their hair black, red, or do they have blue eyes? Use your deductive skills to narrow down suspects. But remember, a warrant is essential before making any arrests! Will you crack the case and bring VILE to justice, or will they evade capture?
