Pikmin 4 demo coming in late June

Ahead of a full release in July.

Pikmin 4 demo was announced during last night’s Nintendo Direct, and is expect in late June.

Players will be able to get their hands on the demo from 29 June, weeks ahead of the title’s full 21 July release.

“In this game, you are the newest recruit, and you’ll customise your character before setting off to meet the capable Rescue Pup Oatchi and the plant-like creatures called Pikmin,” Nintendo said in a press releease.

“Collect treasures around the planet to fix the Rescue Corps’ spaceship’s radar and open new areas to explore, including underground caves, where an environment that’s completely different from the surface awaits,” Nintendo continued. “Pikmin 4 also features Dandori Battles – try to collect more objects than your opponent within the time limit to win and save the castaway.

“Plus, for the first time in the Pikmin series, you can eventually set out for night expeditions. But nightfall sends creatures into a frenzy, so stay alert. Thankfully, you’ll come across the new Glow Pikmin to drive them away.”

Pikmin 4 heads to Nintendo Switch on 21 July.
