Detective Pikachu Returns is an upcoming Switch game that we learned more about during a recent Nintendo Direct, with the sequel to one of the best 3DS games confirmed to be joining the ranks of new games for 2023. The adventure game sees Pokemon's most beloved pocket monster donning a flat-cap and magnifying glass to solve mysteries in Ryme City. He's accompanied by another Detective Pikachu returnee, as well as a host of familiar Pokemon friends.
Being a spin-off, you won't find Detective Pikachu on our rankings of the best Pokemon games, but the 2016 original has always been a fan favorite. This long-awaited sequel looks equally charming and adorable, so here's everything you need to know in terms of Detective Pikachu 2 gameplay, storyline, and when it's coming out on Nintendo Switch.
