Fancy solving crime with a grumpy Pikachu? Detective Pikachu Returns this October
[ad_1]
Announced in today’s Nintendo Direct (June 21), The Return of Detective Pikachu Coming to Nintendo Switch in October 6.
Before the movie in 2019, Detective Pikachu, was a game of the same name for 3DS in 2018. Detective Pikachu followed Tim Goodman, who finds Pikachu and realizes that he can understand what the electric-type mouse is saying. As a result, the pair’s adventures in solving crime together begin, and Pikachu doesn’t shut up at all times.
Now, five years after the game’s full release in 2018, enthusiastic fans of the grumpy but lovable detective will be able to embark on a whole new adventure in Detective Pikachu Returns.
The trailer shown during the Nintendo Direct didn’t give us an idea of the gameplay, or even what the story behind this sequel might be. That said, when the sequel was first announced shortly after the Detective Pikachu movie was released, it was revealed that the sequel would “follow the same story beats as the movie” but with a different resolution (thanks, ScreenRant). So we can all look forward to seeing the 2019 story movie retold!
Pikachu will be voiced by Will Arnett (Arrested Development, Bojack Horseman, and more) in Detective Pikachu Returns, which feels pretty fitting. He’s grumpy, looks like he’d probably smoke if he was PG, and loves coffee. Alongside Pikachu and Tim Goodman will be many other fan-favorite Pokémon, including but not limited to Mewtwo, Slowpoke, Inteleon, Scorbunny, Indeedee, and many more.
Detective Pikachu Returns is coming to Nintendo Switch on October 6. Will you pick it up? Let us know!
