Detective Pikachu Returns in October for Nintendo Switch

A hardboiled PokeDetective story

Recommended Videos

The mystery-solving, coffee-drinking Detective Pikachu is back on the case. Detective Pikachu Returns is set to arrive later this year on October 6, 2023.

Revealed at today’s Nintendo Direct, Detective Pikachu Returns looks to be a follow-up to the original game. Not much is obvious about the plot or direction of the game, other than Tim and his partner returning to solve some mysteries.

We’re set to learn more about these mysteries later on this year.
