Pikmin 4 is a charming, deeply satisfying, and surprisingly expansive strategy-adventure game developed and published by Nintendo exclusively for Nintendo Switch — the most accessible and content-rich entry in the beloved Pikmin franchise. When a rescue mission to a mysterious planet goes wrong and the entire rescue corps becomes stranded, a new customizable hero must work alongside the loyal Pikmin creatures and the brave space dog Oatchi to rescue the castaways, collect treasures, and uncover the planet's secrets. With new Pikmin types, the revolutionary night expedition mode, a massive world to explore, and the charming Dandori challenge system, Pikmin 4 is the definitive Pikmin experience and a perfect entry point for newcomers to the series.
Oatchi — Your Loyal Space Dog Companion
Pikmin 4's most beloved new addition is Oatchi — a loyal and extraordinarily capable space dog who accompanies the hero throughout the adventure. Oatchi can carry Pikmin on his back, rush through obstacles, swim across water, and be upgraded with a wide variety of skills that make him an increasingly powerful and versatile companion. The bond between the hero, Oatchi, and the Pikmin is at the heart of Pikmin 4's charm, and Oatchi quickly becomes one of Nintendo's most endearing new characters.
New Pikmin Types — Ice Pikmin & Glow Pikmin
Pikmin 4 introduces two exciting new Pikmin types that expand the strategic possibilities of the series. Ice Pikmin can freeze water surfaces and enemies solid, opening new paths and creating powerful combat opportunities. Glow Pikmin are luminous creatures that emerge at night, immune to the darkness and capable of stunning enemies with their radiant light — essential companions for the game's thrilling night expeditions.
Night Expeditions — A New Challenge
Pikmin 4 introduces Night Expeditions — a completely new gameplay mode that transforms the familiar Pikmin formula into a tense tower-defense experience. As darkness falls, Lumiknolls — glowing plants that attract Glow Pikmin — must be defended from waves of nocturnal creatures called Leaflings. Night Expeditions offer a thrilling contrast to the daytime exploration gameplay and reward players with valuable resources and Glow Pikmin.
Dandori — The Art of Efficient Command
Dandori — the Pikmin philosophy of efficient task management and optimal resource allocation — is the central skill that Pikmin 4 celebrates and challenges. Dandori Battle and Dandori Challenge modes pit players against the clock and against each other in tests of strategic efficiency, rewarding players who can manage multiple tasks simultaneously and direct their Pikmin with maximum effectiveness.
