Strategy games are a great genre of games that lets you showcase how good your plans, strategies, and problem-solving skills are. There are a lot of strategy games available for players to choose from. Whether it’s mobile, PC, or console, there are a ton of strategy games. Today, we will be looking at the announcement of a popular upcoming game for the Nintendo Switch.

Today we are going to talk about Pikmin 4. The Pikimin franchise has been around since 2001 and since then has had a number of main and side games throughout the years. The last main Pikmin game was released in 2013, so it has been a good 10-year gap between the last one and the one that is set for release later this year. Let’s take a look at everything we know so far about the upcoming Pikmin 4 game.

Conclusion

This concludes everything you need to know about the upcoming Nintendo Switch game Pikmin 4. There is indeed a lot more to be known about this game. We are yet to know whether this game will ever receive a Deluxe edition like how Pikmin 3 had. Also, looking at how Nintendo is planning to release a new Switch i.e the Switch 2 in the coming years, we have to see whether this game will be supported by the new console or not. Looking at how fun the game is, I wish a PC version of this game should also be released. But this is Nintendo exclusive, so one has to keep their hopes low and just enjoy the game on the Nintendo Switch.
