Just after revealing the next Nintendo Classics GameCube title, Nintendo has now announced a new FREE update for Pikmin 4 for Switch and Switch 2, alongside a FREE demo so you can try it all out.
FREE Pikmin 4 update
Nintendo took to its official X feed and issued an official press release this morning to inform gamers of a FREE upcoming update to Pikmin 4. While the update is specifically for the Switch, it is also playable on Switch 2 and a FREE demo loaded with the new features will be playable on release day.
The FREE update, which is set to land in November, introduces “adorable and unique-looking Pikmin for your squad called Decor Pikmin, an in-game camera for snapping pics and two new options to customize the challenge of your expedition.”
Some addition details on each awaits below courtesy of Nintendo:
- Decor Pikmin: Originally seen in the Pikmin Bloom smart-device app, these curious Pikmin are marching their way to Pikmin 4. Decor Pikmin (like the name implies) are Pikmin that don some form of decoration found in the world – you may see them wearing something like a wind-up toy, a doughnut, a snow hat and much more. Decor Pikmin you gather in the new Pikmin 4 update can also be transferred to your squad in Pikmin Bloom, including some that are completely new!
- Field Camera: Take stylish photos of your character, your squad and whatever you like with this new feature. Set the scene with various angles, hide characters, and decorate your pics with filters, frames and stamps. The camera may even be the key to adding Decor Pikmin to your crew
- New Creature Activity Levels: Move at your own pace and enjoy the new Relaxed mode, where creatures won’t attack unless you attack them, or kick things up a notch in the fiery Fierce mode. These modes can be selected when starting a new game or changed at any point after from the game’s settings.
And here’s the Pikmin 4 – Update Overview trailer that landed on the official YouTube Chanel this morning:
A free software update for the Pikmin 4 game will be available this November. An updated free demo of the main game will also be available on Nintendo eShop the same day.
Nintendo has yet to give us an exact date for when the new content will go live, but you can expect it to land next month.
