Ghost hunters, grab your Poltergust! Exciting rumors are swirling about the next installment in the beloved Luigi’s Mansion series. While Nintendo hasn’t officially announced Luigi’s Mansion 4, recent developments suggest it might be lurking just around the corner.
Dark Moon Rises Again
During the June 2023 Nintendo Direct, fans were thrilled to learn that Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon is getting a Switch makeover in 2024. This remaster of the 3DS classic signals Nintendo’s continued commitment to the franchise.
The upcoming Dark Moon remaster doesn’t appear to be a full remake, but rather an enhanced port. This has led many to speculate that developer Next Level Games might have their hands full with a bigger project – perhaps Luigi’s Mansion 4?
A Ghostly Pattern Emerges
Looking at Next Level Games’ release history, a pattern emerges:
- 2013: Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon
- 2016: Metroid Prime: Federation Force
- 2019: Luigi’s Mansion 3
- 2022: Mario Strikers: Battle League
If this three-year cycle continues, 2025 could be the perfect time for Luigi’s next spectral adventure.
Rising Popularity
The Luigi’s Mansion series has seen a steady increase in popularity:
- Luigi’s Mansion (2001): ~3 million copies sold
- Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon (2013): 6+ million copies sold
- Luigi’s Mansion 3 (2019): 14.25+ million copies sold.
This upward trajectory suggests that Nintendo has every reason to continue investing in the franchise.
A Haunting Launch Title?
With rumors of a Nintendo Switch successor swirling, some speculate that Luigi’s Mansion 4 could be a launch title for the new system. This would mirror the original Luigi’s Mansion, which debuted alongside the GameCube in 2001.

What to Expect
While details are scarce, fans are hoping for:
- Expanded multiplayer options
- New ghost types and catching mechanics
- Larger, more intricate mansions to explore
- Potentially open-world elements
The Waiting Game
For now, ghost-hunting enthusiasts will have to content themselves with replaying Luigi’s Mansion 3 and looking forward to the Dark Moon remaster in 2024. But keep your flashlights ready – Luigi’s next big adventure might be closer than we think!
As always, until Nintendo makes an official announcement, take these rumors with a grain of salt. But one thing’s for sure – the future looks bright (or delightfully spooky) for Luigi and his Poltergust!
