At long last, Pikmin 4 is upon us after nearly a decade after the release of Pikmin 3. Pikmin 4 was announced during a Nintendo Direct event in Sept. 2022, but it was only during a new Direct event in June 2023 that fans were able to take a deeper look at the title and find out more about the sequel’s upcoming gameplay.
