The iconic Carmen Sandiego is back in the gaming world, and her latest adventure takes her to Japan in the inaugural limited-time FestiVILE event, running from April 7th to May 4th. This event coincides with the real-world Cherry Blossom festival, where players will join Carmen in thwarting VILE's sinister plot to steal the sacred Shinboku tree. Dive into this thrilling escapade and immerse yourself in the rich cultural tapestry of Japan.

As you solve the mystery, you'll unlock unique rewards, including a traditional Japanese happi coat for Carmen, replacing her signature red trenchcoat. Time is of the essence, so gather your clues quickly and unravel the case before it's too late!

Adding to the nostalgic charm, the beloved original Carmen Sandiego theme song, first composed by Sean Altman and David Yazbek of Rockapella, makes a triumphant return. Deluxe Edition owners can enjoy it on the soundtrack, while Standard Edition players can hear it in-game, enhancing the experience with a touch of classic flair.

Despite the setback with the cancellation of the Netflix Stories franchise, Netflix remains dedicated to the success of their Carmen Sandiego reboot, continuing to captivate audiences with globe-trotting adventures and brain-teasing challenges.
