On top of the typical red, blue, and yellow Pikmin, the trailer showed off Ice Pikmin that freeze enemies and bodies of water. There’s also a dog… thing called Oatchi who will help you along. Some familiar beasts are shown off for you to hunt, such as that big grubdog that probably killed a bunch of your mates in Pikmin 2.

The trailer ended with a hint that there will be other pilots joining you on the adventure. Whether co-op will make a return from Pikmin 3 Deluxe isn’t clear.

Pikmin 4 will release July 21, 2023 on Switch.
