Background: There have been four major installments to the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series: Red and Blue Rescue Team (2005), Explorers of Time, Darkness and Sky (2007), Gates to Infinity (2012), and Super (2015). Since Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX was released in March 2020, fans have been anticipating another addition to the series, whether an Explorers remake or a completely new game.
Resolution criteria: This market resolves YES if any Pokémon Mystery Dungeon game is officially announced by Nintendo or The Pokémon Company, whether in a Pokémon Presents video or otherwise, by the end of 2025. If there is no such announcement, this market resolves NO.
Creator betting policy: I will bet on this like any other market.
1,000A new PMD title will not release this year because the dev team did work on Shiren the Wanderer 6 till very recently.
It will most likely be a short-term announcement like PMD RT DX in 2020, which was announced in January and Released in March. Given that at least a single year for a remake, or 2 years for a fully new title is needed, end of 2026 is the earliest one title could released and be announced.
The Explorers Guild predicts that an Explorers remake could be released as early as 2024. A remake would be likely to pull in a lot of cash with little risk, although some fans are worried that the Mystery Dungeon series would feel stale if no completely new titles were created. A completely new game would be riskier as it could flop (Gates to Infinity is often called the worst game in the series, although its music slaps).
