Release Date: September 25, 2025
A third-person detective adventure game. Agatha Christie: Death on the Nile was based on the novel by the same name, but it expands beyond the book original. There are two playable characters - Hercules Poirot and Joanna Locke. They both run their own investigations, heading towards the common goal.
Agatha Christie's works have received a number of adaptations in the form of video games. This also includes the detective adventure game described here, titled Agatha Christie: Death on the Nile. The studio behind its development is Microids, known for the Syberia series. The same publisher has in its portfolio a thematically and genre-related project Agatha Christie: Murder on the Orient Express.
In Agatha Christie: Death on the Nile we watch the action from a third-person perspective (TPP).
The game is based on the story from the novel Death on the Nile by Agatha Christie. Similar to the previous title under this brand by Microids, the game allows us to play as two main characters.
The first one is the detective Hercule Poirot, known from the original, whose peaceful cruise on the Nile is interrupted by a terrible crime. The second is Joanna Locke, whom we already had the opportunity to meet in the Murder on the Orient Express game. She's a private detective following the trail of a murderer, whose investigation leads her through London, Majorca and New York. The investigations of both protagonists converge in Abu Simbel.
The story told here is set in the 1970s and not only goes beyond the plot of the book, but also abounds in a series of mysteries and plot twists.
Adventure leads us through such places as the deck of a cruise ship, Majorca, London, or Cairo. During it, we conduct conversations with other characters and collect clues and evidence. We can use these last ones in confrontations with suspects to expose their deceptions.
We can connect the discovered facts together on a special mind map, which leads us on the right track and allows us to push the plot forward. Our conversations and observations also allow us to create full profiles of individual characters.

Game Ratings for Agatha Christie: Death on the Nile Video Game.
PS3Blog.net: 8 / 10
Interesting experience that reworks the author’s classic mystery novel for a new generation
Gaming Nexus: 6 / 10 by Eric Hauter
Agatha Christie: Death on the Nile will likely intrigue fans of mystery adventure games, but others will likely find the game's somewhat obtuse puzzle structure frustrating. The 70s setting is fun, and the characters are well done, but overall the game feels a bit too mechanically dated to draw in new fans. If you know you like this sort of thing, check it out. But the merely curious might want to keep on sailing.
TheXboxHub: 4 / 5 by Gareth Brierley
Agatha Christie – Death on the Nile will let you live out those fantasies without having to leave the house in a trilby and a mac. It’s a good challenge, with a great story and lots of variety in its levels. Sometimes the presentation feels a bit flat, but it’s never anything that is able to take away from the enjoyment.
