Agatha Christie’s “Death on the Nile” Releases This September

Oh boy, where do I even start with this? Agatha Christie’s "Death on the Nile" is not just making a splash on paper but is cruising its way to Nintendo Switch and PlayStation. Get ready for the chaos on September 25th, if you’re into that sort of thing.

So, imagine this: a nice, quiet cruise—sounds relaxing, right? But nah, a crime messes up the whole vibe. Luckily, Hercule Poirot, our moustached hero, is around to save the day. Or, well, try to.

Meanwhile, there’s this other detective, running around chasing a murderer from the hustle and bustle of London to the sunny beaches of Majorca, then zipping over to New York, and finally landing in Egypt. Busy schedule, huh?

These two investigations kinda smash into each other at some place called Abu Simbel. Expect lots of "gotcha" moments and, let’s say, twists that will keep you guessing. Even hardcore Christie fans might find themselves scratching their heads. The book’s been around forever, but the surprises keep on coming.

Anyway — no, hold up — where was I? Oh right, what you’ll actually do in this game. You play as both Poirot and this other detective, Jane Royce. I guess they each have their own stories and see things differently, which could be interesting or whatever.

And the 70s setting? Super groovy! Expect wild patterns, disco balls, and maybe a character who looks like they’re straight out of a bizarro dance party—not that I would know.

The story picks up where the book leaves off, which means more puzzles to fry your brain. You’ll trot from exotic cruise ships to busy cities like Majorca and London.

Thought I was done? Nope. You get this mindmap thing—imagine it like connecting dots but with fancy deductions. Oh, and you have to confront suspects. They lie, and you’re there like, “Aha!”

You also get to play detective, digging up character profiles through conversation and flashy detective work. Fun stuff, if you’re into that.

Bottom line? Dive into this mess of a mystery when it hits the consoles, if you dare. I guess it’s more fun than trying to solve a mystery on your own—unless you love a challenge, then by all means, grab your detective hat. 📚🎮

And that’s all, folks! Or most of it, I think.
