So, what do you actually need to know about the upcoming sequel?
Will it plant roots on any handheld consoles besides the Switch?
Will its story be exactly the same as the one featured in Rob Lettermans film?
Well, heres everything you should probably know about it.
What Is Detective Pikachu Returns?
Its also the sequel toDetective Pikachu,yet another mystery game that attained mass recognition back in 2018.
Question is, to what extent is the gruff willing to go to crack this latest catalog of mysteries?
Or better yet, how will the newest case tie in with the ones featured back in 2018?
Story
Unfortunately, this is where the trail goes cold.
And whats more, itll be set entirely in Ryme City.
So, hardly anything new to mold over there, then.
And thats all Nintendo writes, annoyingly.
So, hardly a major dive into the premise of the game, let alone its characters or cameos.
But as for what these mysteries will entail is still anybodys guess.
Development
Detective Pikachu Returnswas just one of several games that were shown during Junes Nintendo Direct event.
Of course, a sequel was bound to happen at some point regardless.
Better late than never, anyway.
If all goes according to plan, then the sequelshouldbe gearing up for a October 6th release.
Does this mean it wont be making a return to ex-gen platforms?
Fat chance, mind you.
So, whats your take?
Will you be picking up a copy ofDetective Pikachu Returnswhen it hits the Switch?
