Gameloft has officially announced the return of Carmen Sandiego to mobile platforms this November 2025, following the game’s unexpected shutdown earlier in the year. The relaunch will reintroduce the franchise’s signature globe-trotting detective gameplay, enhanced with modern mobile features and updated case files.
The game was recently launched via Netflix Games, but it was gone some time after. The relaunch promises new cases, expanded localization, and visual upgrades, ensuring accessibility for a global audience. Gameloft has also teased seasonal events and live updates, suggesting a more sustainable content roadmap compared to the original release.
Carmen Sandiego has a long history dating back to the 1985 PC classic, evolving through educational software, TV shows, and console adaptations. Its mobile revival continues the tradition of blending entertainment with learning, making it both a nostalgic return and a modernized experience for new players. Pre-registration is expected to open soon via the App Store for iOS, with full availability rolling out regionally before the end of November.
