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

Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego? Right in the palm of your hand! Starting today, you can dive into the latest installment of the Carmen Sandiego series on your iOS or Android device, exclusively if you're a Netflix subscriber. This early release for Netflix members lets you experience the game before it hits other platforms.

In "Carmen Sandiego," the titular character transitions from a criminal to a vigilante, taking on her former allies in the nefarious secret organization, V.I.L.E. As Carmen, you'll travel the globe, using exploration, subterfuge, and even hang-gliding minigames to track down and capture V.I.L.E. agents.

This new entry diverges from the series' traditional point-and-click mechanics and the previous portrayal of Carmen as the villain. The fact that Carmen Sandiego is now available on Netflix ahead of consoles and other platforms underscores the significance of her reinvention as a globe-trotting vigilante.

**Around the world, around the world**

It's no surprise that Netflix is keen to bring Carmen Sandiego to its platform early. Developed by Gameloft, this game could offer a AAA-style experience for fans, adding significant value for Netflix subscribers by providing them with top-tier game launches before others.

With a range of exciting features, Gameloft's venture into this genre shows promise, but we'll need to see how the game is received by players.
