"Exciting News" Is Being Teased For Detective Pikachu Returns' First Anniversary

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of Pokémon adventures under my belt, I must say, I’m more than just a little intrigued by this latest tease from The Pokémon Company. It’s been a rollercoaster of emotions since Detective Pikachu Returns graced our Nintendo Switches last year – the highs of solving mysteries with my electric companion, the lows of facing yet another timed puzzle, and the endless cups of coffee to keep me awake through it all.


Approaching a full year since Detective Pikachu Returns was launched on Nintendo Switch by The Pokémon Company, we’re nearing its first anniversary. Despite the Japanese company keeping quiet about any updates or specifics related to the detective adventure game, hints have been dropped suggesting further developments, as indicated by one social media post.

In the footsteps of the 2016 game for the Nintendo 3DS, I’m talking about Detective Pikachu Returns. Despite being one of the highest-selling games in its debut week, it received mixed reviews. Interestingly, no additional content was initially planned post-launch, but with a recent hint dropped, could we be seeing more of this game soon?

On October 1st, 2024, the authentic Pokémon Poké Times Twitter account shared a post in honor of International Coffee Day, showcasing Detective Pikachu savoring coffee. In the video clip, Detective Pikachu was seen enjoying a cup of coffee. The caption, translated from its original language, hinted at something coming up for the game’s first anniversary on October 4th, 2024, which fans should look forward to from the Pokémon Information Bureau.

Many Pokémon enthusiasts are speculating about what this “thrilling announcement” could involve, given the expressed enthusiasm of the game director Yasunori Yanagisawa for the video game series. This anticipation arises from comments Yanagisawa made in an interview with ComicBook in September 2023, where he spoke about his ambition to expand Detective Pikachu’s story in a possible third game and future installments, expressing hope for the continuation not only of Detective Pikachu’s narrative but also that of Tim.

In the hours leading up to The Pokémon Company’s official announcement on the first anniversary of Detective Pikachu Returns, many Pokémon enthusiasts are eagerly guessing about the “exciting news.” To keep fans informed about the latest updates and developments related to Detective Pikachu Returns, we encourage bookmarking this page as we will regularly update it with fresh information.
