World Edition

The whole world comes to investigation in the World Edition of Criminal Case (also known as Season 3 of the game). Various law enforcement agencies govern certain localities across the globe, but The Bureau serves as a top police force specializing in difficult crimes to deal with by average law enforcement localities.

Unlocking the World Edition
The World Edition was released on August 13, 2015. The player must finish Grimsborough first, and then Pacific Bay, as per the game's canon.

Continents
The World Edition, based on the "world tour"-like premise, features a stylised world map divided into nine continents, which are essentially similar to the districts of Grimsborough and Pacific Bay.

Europe
Cases #1-#6 are situated in this continent, and deals with a virulent escalation of violence throughout the continent. These include, but are not limited to, arsons, political assassinations, and out-of-control riots. Chief Ripley and Ingrid Bjorn believe a kingpin is behind-the-scenes.

Sahara Region
Cases #7-#12 are situated in this continent. More to be added

Future Continents
Upcoming continents include Africa, whereas Asia will be divided into three segments (Eurasia, South Asia and East Asia), and besides them, there will be Oceania, North America, and South America.

Trivia

 * Similar to Pacific Bay, the World Edition map features specific hints near a case marker, which hints the player about the location of a particular case. (However, unlike Pacific Bay, you do not have to zoom in the map to notice these specific hints.)
 * For example, for Case #2, you can spot the Eiffel Tower, which is intended to hint on the location featured in that very case.
 * Similar to Grimsborough and Pacific Bay, each continent in the World Edition features a different theme and/or focuses on a particular event, as described in the following:
 * Europe focuses on stopping a terrorist organization from fulfilling their master plan on unifying all of Europe into one United States of Europe under their control.
 * The World Edition introduces quasi-suspects, characters who require a star to talk to, but are not involved in the main legs of the investigation.
 * The killers' clothes change to their prison uniforms when they need to be talked to in the Additional Investigation, starting from the World Edition.
