Carmen Sandiego out now on iOS and Android exclusively via Netflix Games

The globe-trotting thief, Carmen Sandiego, is now available on Netflix Games for iOS and Android! This exclusive early access for Netflix subscribers lets you play before anyone else. The game features Carmen as a vigilante battling her former V.I.L.E. associates.

Carmen Sandiego, the game, follows the titular character as she journeys around the world, apprehending V.I.L.E. agents. Gameplay involves exploration, stealth, and even hang-gliding minigames. This marks a departure from previous iterations, which primarily used point-and-click mechanics and portrayed Sandiego as the antagonist. The game's early release on Netflix, ahead of other platforms, highlights the success of this new vigilante Carmen Sandiego.

Netflix's early release of Carmen Sandiego is a strategic move. Gameloft's first major multi-platform title could set a new standard for AAA-style mobile gaming experiences on the platform. This early access provides added value for Netflix subscribers.

Gameloft's debut in this genre shows promise, but its ultimate reception remains to be seen. For more on the latest game releases, check out our regular "Ahead of the Game" feature. This week, we explore the multiplayer dungeon crawler, Gold & Glory.
