Detective Pikachu Returns is a sequel to the popular 2018 Nintendo 3DS title Detective Pikachu. After years of waiting, the second title in the series was finally unveiled during the September 2023 Nintendo Direct. Picking up where the last game left off, Detective Pikachu Returns will center around protagonist Tim Goodman reuniting with Pikachu in Ryme City.
According to Game Freak, the sequel will feature new Pokemon that have since made their franchise debut after the original game. With the recent release of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet in 2022, perhaps we will get to see some new Paldean Pokémon also make their appearance in the spin-off series.
Detective Pikachu Returns will be available on the Nintendo Switch starting on October 6, 2023.
