Rumor has it that Pikmin will launch a spin-off


There is new news about the "Pikmin" series. This time it is not "Pikmin 5", but that Pikmin may have a spin-off work.

Recently, it was revealed that a spin-off of the Pikmin series is in development. The news was originally revealed by X user Nash Weedle. Considering the accuracy of his past leaks, this information is quite credible.

He said that this new game will break through tradition, bring a unique gaming experience, and may also make bold attempts in art style. It is planned to be launched on the market in the next fiscal year.

Taking his statement into consideration, this Pikmin spin-off should not follow the same RTS route of collecting and solving puzzles as the sequel. I don’t know which specific gameplay will be the main one.

This isn't the first time the series has had a spin-off, as there was a 3DS game with Olimar as the main character many years ago. Unfortunately, it didn't achieve much success. This game is a horizontal version of the game set in the world of Pikmin, and the gameplay is more like Mario's, but in the game, players still need to cooperate with Pikmin of different abilities to pass the game.
