Detective Pikachu 2 coming to Nintendo Switch

Ryan Reynolds not included

With the mega popularity of Pokémon continuing to grow, and a bonafide hit in the Deadpool-starring Detective Pikachu film, The Pokémon Company has announced a new Detective Pikachu game is on the way.

Serving as a direct sequel to the original 3DS adventure, which ended on a pseudo cliffhanger, the new game will fully flush out the story of everyone’s favorite electric rodent, and this time it will do so on the Nintendo Switch.

It’s unknown how much of a sequel or remake this game might actually be (the original game did okay on the aging handheld) but by bringing it to the Switch it should do fairly well, riding that surfing Pikachu wave into strong sales.

No release date yet, but we’ll be too busy playing Sword and Shield this year any ways.
