Microids has announced a brand-new Agatha Christie video game is on the way, with the reveal of Agatha Christie – Death on the Nile. Much like the previous title (Murder on the Orient Express), they will be giving you an interactive adventure that plays into the classic whodunnit novel featuring the great detective Hercule Poirot. However, the twist for this one is there will be a second mystery happening with a new detective, as their paths will eventually cross mid-story. It looks pretty good, and honestly, it will probably be a better version than the 2022 film, where a bunch of the cast suddenly found themselves in hot water for one reason or another. We have more info below, as the game will be out sometime in 2025.
