Carmen Sandiego is making a thrilling return to video games, and this time, she's headed to Japan for the first limited-time FestiVILE event. From April 7th to May 4th, players can immerse themselves in a unique adventure that coincides with the real-world Cherry Blossom festival. In this exciting event, you'll have the chance to thwart Carmen Sandiego and the nefarious forces of VILE as they attempt to steal the sacred Shinboku tree. Not only will you be solving mysteries, but you'll also earn exclusive rewards, including a traditional Japanese happi coat for Carmen, adding a fresh twist to her iconic red trenchcoat. Don't miss out on this limited-time event—solve the case before time runs out!

Adding to the nostalgia, the classic Carmen Sandiego theme song, originally composed by Sean Altman and David Yazbek of Rockapella, is back! Deluxe Edition owners can enjoy it on the soundtrack, while Standard Edition players can hear it in-game. This beloved tune adds an extra layer of excitement to the already engaging gameplay.

Despite the recent cancellation of the Netflix Stories franchise, Netflix remains committed to the success of their Carmen Sandiego reboot. This latest update is a testament to their dedication to keeping the adventures of the trenchcoat-wearing icon alive and thrilling for fans old and new.
