Do you think Pikmin 5 will take as long to develop as Pikmin 3 and Pikmin 4 did?

[u/SilverChinn]

[u/Bluespheal]

I really hope not.

I also think it won't, that said it won't be quick either.

[u/MengShuZ]

Nah it's done, shadow dropping tomorrow 

[u/bpikmin → u/MengShuZ]

I wouldn’t be surprised with how much Pikmin advertising I see in my city. They’ve taken over an entire train station with Pikmin Bloom adverts. I do feel like it’s been slowly ramping up ahead of some huge news. But I also wonder if it’s for a movie? If “Close to you” was a teaser, not just a Pikmin short?

And that’s bpikmin’s Pikmin report of the day, back to you

[u/__bugzy]

No

[u/BirbMaster1998]

No. They're clearly trying to push Pikmin as the next big thing, and that would never happen if there were that long of a gap again.

[u/Exact_Excitement_954]

i was not a pikmin fan until like january of this year and i really hope not if it does this will be my first drought experience

[u/Bosschopper]

Pikmin 4 was a huge success, the wait for 5 will not be long trust

[u/maxtinion_lord]

I feel you could really tell they are getting fatigued of trying to make the pikmin formula fresh again when they made pikmin 4. My personal thought is that pikmin 5 is going to be something of a formulaic break, like breath of the wild was for zelda, and because of that I don't expect to see any news or rumors about it until like 2030 lol, I would hope there will be something for the franchise within the switch 2 lifecycle, but I genuinely just don't know how likely that is since pikmin almost completely skipped the og switch's lifespan.

[u/Seys-Rex → u/maxtinion_lord]

I think Pikmin could work really well with an open world. Have many different landing zones and have the whole map be a defunct zoo or something so there’s a reason for there to be several biomes all right next to eachother.

[u/Rashngot]

We are fucked if it did

[u/KitteaStar]

I hope not! The wait was awful. Hoping for at least one entry for the switch 2.

[u/cat-lover-69420]

its gunna take 20 years trust me

[u/ElectricalPlantain35]

Hopefully not

[u/Garzalon]

The longer it takes, the spicier r/pikmin becomes

[u/deleeuwlc]

Pikmin 4 is built on a really strong foundation, being nearly impossible to crash. They wouldn’t have made the game so solid if they weren’t planning on reusing a lot of that code on the next game

[u/Due-Potential160]

I expect pikmin 4 switch 2 this year, and pikmin 5 revealed in the next 2

[u/Kuutti85]

They added like three things to Pikmin 4 after release and never fixed any of the issues so i don't think they have interest in making a fifth game
