PIKMIN 4 RELEASE DATE SERIES
Nintendo has not announced a collector’s edition for Pikmin 4, and no additional merchandise for the series has been revealed. Will Pikmin 4 have a collector’s edition? The introduction of ice bridges will probably mean an even more devilish obstacle like spike pits or lava to mark inaccessible areas, but traversing water will completely open up the world for players to explore. However, the new ice Pikmin can freeze water, allowing its friends to cross a pond or river safely. Water has always been a major threat in the series, as Pikmin are unable to swim. The big introduction is the ice Pikmin, a new type of controllable unit with some extremely useful powers. Only one new kind of Pikmin has been revealed so far, but they’re traditionally added in pairs, so it’s fair to expect at least one surprise addition. The winged Pikmin were not shown in the earlier trailers, but they do make an appearance on some promotional material, confirming their return. That includes the original red, yellow, and blue Pikmin, along with newer additions like the white, purple, and rock Pikmin. The trailers for Pikmin 4 confirm that all previous types of Pikmin will be returning to the series. What types of Pikmin will be in the new game? The trailer is still scarce on details for enemies and levels, but expect to discover lots more on the Pikmin 4 release date of July 12. Trailers show off a new type of Long Legs that will likely function as a new dungeon boss. Lastly, Pikmin 4 will also feature new terrain and enemy types. The protagonist can even ride Oatchi along with some Pikmin, making traversal across long distances much faster. Oatchi is a dog-type creature that will function as a new unit, and he can help smash through barriers or collect machine parts. In addition, Pikmin 4 will introduce a new controllable character as part of its new gameplay changes. The swap to a player-owned main character is a big change, but it’s not the only difference. However, Pikmin 4 will break from tradition by allowing players to customize their own stranded protagonist. This was Captain Olimar in the first two games, with Alph taking the spotlight for Pikmin 3. In previous Pikmin games, players controlled a defined character with their own name and personality. The biggest change Pikmin 4 players will immediately notice is the custom protagonist. The biggest gameplay changes coming to Pikmin 4 It will also be the first Pikmin game made available for the Nintendo Switch, and it will also introduce several other big firsts for the series. The day of its release will be exactly ten years minus one day from the release of Pikmin 4, meaning that the series will not quite reach a decade-long hiatus. That also means that the release date of Pikmin 4 is somewhat commemorative.
