Step aboard the Karnak and check out a gripping murder mystery set in 1970s Egypt.

Paris, 16 December 2024 – Microids and Microids Studio Lyon are pleased to announce the video game Agatha Christie – Death on the Nile. This adventure and investigation game, based on one of Agatha Christie’s most iconic masterpieces, will be available in 2025 on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch.

In 2023, Microids Studio Lyon‘s first project, Agatha Christie – Murder on the Orient Express, made its mark with its modern reinterpretation of the literary classic. The adaptation surprised gamers by enriching the original story while remaining true to its essence.

With Agatha Christie – Death on the Nile, Microids Studio Lyon is exploring a new direction by adding all-new plots, advanced gameplay mechanics and a unique setting: Egypt in the 1970s. ‘Player feedback on Murder on the Orient Express, where Hercule Poirot already shared the investigation with a second detective, Joanna Locke, was precious in guiding the development of Death on the Nile. We have raised the level of difficulty with more complex puzzles and offered more freedom in the progression of the investigation. In addition, the adventure weaves the stories of Hercule Poirot and Jane Royce, the new detective, even more closely together,’ says David Chomard, CEO of Microids Studio Lyon.

About Agatha Christie – Death on the Nile

In Death on the Nile, a peaceful cruise on the Nile is disrupted by a terrible crime. Thankfully, Hercule Poirot is onboard. Meanwhile, another private detective Jane Royce is tracking a murderer, leading her from London to Majorca, New York, and finally to Egypt. The two investigations collide at Abu Simbel. The dynamic duo will solve a complex case full of twists and turns. But the story doesn’t end with the book and still holds many mysteries and twists, even for Agatha Christie fans.
