The Detective Pikachu se𓆉quel is apparently "nearing release," according to one developer's LinkedIn profile.

As first picked up on by earlier this week, one developer at 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Pokemon Company might've shed new light on plans for De𓆉tective Pikachu 2. This deℱveloper's 'Experience' section of their LinkedIn profile reveals that one project they worked on, namely Detective Pikachu 2, is "nearing release."

This is the first we've heard of Detective Pikachu 2 in a long while. Earlier this year in February, collaborating developer Creatures revealed that they were 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:still working on the game, with i🦩t being in active development, via a section on its website. 

This simple admission was newsworthy because we hadn't heard anything about Detective Pikachu 2 in the three years prior. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:After announcing the sequel in 2019, both The Pokemon Company and Creatures have gone completely silent on the sequel, never mentionꦇing it in countless Pokemon Presents showcases since then.

Considering this, it'd be easy to see why fans naturally assumed the sequel had been cancelled. We're still at a loss for when Detective Pikachu 2 could🅺 be launching, but here's hoping it is "nearing release."
