Fictional detective and crossmedia goliath Nancy Drew is back after a five-year hiatus with her 34th game since 2000.
From the looks of the trailer below, cybercrimes and beeping tech are now “entwined with medieval legends, alchemy,” and rusted artifacts that the Czech Republic should probably put back. We don’tactually see our titular girlboss in most of these games, I recently found out, but various suspects are on show to do their best Bethesda NPC impressions.
Nancy Drew isn’t a mainstay in my own life, but it’s hard not to be in awe of her cross-dimensional shifts as she’s stepped across hundreds of novels, a fair share of films, TV adaptations, comic books, and again, 34 whole video games. Despite being 94 years old, my only exposure to the amateur sleuth was from the 2007 Emma Roberts film that took our small-town girl to big Hollywood. Maybe it’s time to change that.
