We've yet to see Detective Pikachu 2 after being announced in 2019. Scheduled to launch on Switch, the lack of news has been worrisome for fans, but a recruitment post from Creatures Inc. confirmed that this upcoming sequel is still in development.
The Creatures Inc. post (transcribed by VGC) reveals that a programmer named “KT” is working on Detective Pikachu 2. Reportedly, that involves "programming the drawing area, while also creating a system in the Environment Development Office that will serve as the foundation for future game production in general."

It’s fair to say that Detective Pikachu rose in popularity after the 2019 movie starring Ryan Reynolds. Detective Pikachu 2 was later announced for the Switch, alongside rumours of an enhanced port for the first game, adding new content to the story.
Fans can currently catch the Pokémon: Detective Pikachu movie on Blu-ray or digital releases. The original Detective Pikachu game on 3DS is also available, but fans might want to pick up a copy before the 3DS eShop closes next year.
