The Darkside Detective: Season 2

We originally heard about a second season for The Darkside Detective after it was funded on Kickstarter in late 2018. At the time, we thought we’d be seeing it on Switch towards the start of 2020. That didn’t happen in the end, but we do have an update on the project.

Akupara Games has announced that it has partnered with developer Spooky Doorway on The Darkside Detective: Season 2. The release window also shifted to 2021.

Here’s some information about The Darkside Detective as well as a trailer:

It’s often difficult to tell how much truth a rumor has, but when it comes to Nintendo this year, Venturebeat’s Jeff Grubb has been pretty spot on. Grubb had the early word on a March Nintendo Direct and Apex Legends Switch port for example. 

A new tweet from Grubb now suggests that a Nintendo presentation could be coming between August 11 and August 22. Whether that’s a Nintendo Direct, indie-focused event, or something else entirely isn’t known. Going off of Grub’s tweet though, we could be seeing something as early as next week.
