Players land on a mysterious planet and go on an adventure with the aid of strange creatures known as Pikmin. <em>Pikmin 4<\/em> adds the new Ice Pikmin, and there is also a new dog-like companion called Oatchi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We first learned about the existence of <em>Pikmin 4<\/em> in a 2015 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/pikmin-4-in-development-and-very-close-to-completion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">interview<\/a> that Eurogamer held with Shigeru Miyamoto. During the interview, Miyamoto stated, \u201cWe can confirm that <em>Pikmin 4<\/em> is in development,\u201d and that \u201cIt&#8217;s actually very close to completion.\u201d However, no further information about the game was revealed until it finally received an official announcement in September 2022, seven years later. Earlier this year, Nintendo at long last announced the release date for the game: July 21.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In eager anticipation of the impending release, Twitter user @Heronin868 began a challenge to draw one Pikmin every day. He began on February 9, when the release date was announced, and has continued to add a new Pikmin to his initial image daily.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/Heronin868\/status\/1626689406387081242\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>There are still more than 150 days until <em>Pikmin 4<\/em> is released, but @Heronin868\u2019s image is already looking pretty busy with nine Pikmin. He is surely going to have to rapidly expand the image if he hopes to keep adding Pikmin until the game is released. It will be interesting to see how he intends to add so many Pikmin into the same image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This kind of challenge might seem a little crazy at first, but there is an even more extreme challenge that has been undertaken during the wait for <em>Pikmin 4<\/em>. In the \u201cPlaying Pikmin Everyday Until Pikmin 4 Comes Out,\u201d one player has decided to release a short <em>Pikmin<\/em> gameplay video every day until they can finally get their hands on <em>Pikmin 4<\/em>.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Playing Pikmin Everyday Until Pikmin 4 Comes Out - Day 761\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dO2QjYz-iU8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br><em>Pikmin<\/em> is not the only game to have gotten this kind of treatment in recent years, and challenges where fans do something every day until a game\u2019s release have started to become common. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#f7f5f5\"><strong>Related articles:<br>&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/news\/20210611-947\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Man who reported daily news about Elden Ring for almost a year moved to tears by release date announcement<\/a><br>&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/news\/20221214-17251\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The person who reported \u201cNo information on the new Armored Core\u201d every day for over 600 days has a confession to make<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Daily Elden Ring Update: Day 621 (The Finale)\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6Y9W4MLJW2c?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br><em>Pikmin 4<\/em> is due to be released on July 21.
