pikmin 4 trailer

Pikmin, the puzzle video game series that started way back in 2001, is getting its fourth installment, and it’s set to release later this July. Pikmin 4 was re-announced during Nintendo Direct after the initial announcement back in September of last year.

We didn’t have an exact release date at the time, but this new Pikmin 4 trailer reveals that the game is set to launch on July 21.

Chart a mysterious planet with curious plantlike Pikmin that come in different types in Pikmin 4—like the brand-new Ice Pikmin! The capable canine, Oatchi, will also help to overcome big challenges.

The trailer shows off Pikmin 4’s whimsical and silly gameplay, with tiny, adorable Pikmin waddling around the screen. This time around, players will get to try out a new Ice Pikmin, and the dog-like creature Oatchi is seen assisting the Pikmin. We’ll have to wait and see exactly what you can actually do with this canine creature, but based on the trailer footage, it seems that you can mount it, order it to break obstacles, and even drag objects around.

Pikmin 4 will release exclusively on the Nintendo Switch on July 21 this year.
