Nintendo has unexpectedly announced a major free update for Pikmin 4, which will be released in November on Nintendo Switch. The trailer showed new features that enrich the gameplay, and a free demo version will be available in the eShop along with the update.
The main innovation is the photo mode, available through the new "Field Camera" device in the backpack. Players will be able to save beautiful moments of adventure, add frames, stamps, and individual details to the pictures. You can create a calendar with the best shots.
The update introduces decorated Pikmin — new special variations hidden around the world. Finding them is not easy, but the faithful Dingo will give helpful hints to those who want to collect them all. These Pikmin can also be transferred to the mobile game Pikmin Bloom.
For those who want individual difficulty, a "creature activity level" has been added, which adjusts the aggressiveness and resistance of enemies on three levels: Calm, Normal, and Intense. This makes Pikmin 4 accessible to both beginners and experienced players.
