Pikmin 4

Pikmin 4 is an upcoming real-time strategy video game developed and published by Nintendo. It will be the fourth main installment of the Pikmin series, following Pikmin 3, and sixth installment overall. It is set for release on the Nintendo Switch on July 21, 2023. Pikmin 4 utilises the same basic gameplay as its predecessors in the Pikmin series - players control a minuscule leader, who must spend a day on an Earth-like planet, raising Pikmin to use in defeating enemies, securing objects and achieving specific goals in various locations. Pikmin 4 adds a mechanic to deploy Pikmin, and a camera option much closer to the ground, as well as introducing species of Pikmin with new abilities to help solve puzzles and tackle enemies, such as Ice Pikmin who can freeze water and enemies. In addition, the player will be able to command a dog-like creature called Oatchi, who can help carry objects, or transport Pikmin across water. The game's main story will focus on rescuing castaways of a new humanoid race upon the same planet used in the Pikmin series.
