The elusive Detective Pikachu 2 Switch game shows signs of life

destructoid.com:

In mid-2019, Nintendo announced Detective Pikachu 2: a sequel to the Detective Pikachu game (which ended on an unresolved note)…and not a peep has been uttered since then. Let’s look at the timeline of how everything Detective Pikachu-related has gone down.

So this new late-2022 update actually all boils down to a Linkedin profile from Jonathan Murphy, who worked on the game at Creatures Inc (the studio who developed the first entry). As spotted by Famiboards user MetalLord, Murphy used the phrase “worked on one unannounced project and one nearing release, Detective Pikachu 2.” Murphy has since changed their Linkedin profile to note that the game is “in development,” removing a mention of “nearing release.”

Honestly, this is pretty explosive info if it’s actually correct, especially if Nintendo is aiming for a mid-2023 release to spice up the Nintendo Switch lineup. While the jury is out on how accurate this Linkedin statement is, at the very least, it’s still in development. Some of us want to know how the game ends (assuming it’s not the same as the film)!
