'''''Pikmin 4''''' is the next main game in the {{ps}}, planned for release in 2023. What is known is that it has been mentioned several times in interviews, and said to be in different stages of completion. Because of the conflicting and vague information in these interviews, it is not clear which interviews (if any) refer to the launched fourth title in the series, {{hp}}, and which ones refer to a new major ''Pikmin'' game.
'''''Pikmin 4''''' is the next main game in the {{ps}}, planned for release in 2023. Although it has been revealed in the {{date|13|September|2022}} Nintendo Direct, along with a bit of footage, several interviews before that have allured to a "Pikmin 4", confirming it to be in different stages of completion. Because of the conflicting and vague information in these interviews, it is not clear which interviews (if any) refer to the launched fourth title in the series, {{hp}}, and which ones refer to the newly-announced ''Pikmin 4''.


==Known information==
==Official reveal==
The following is a compilation of all known official information on the project, sorted chronologically.
On the {{date|13|September|2022}} trailer, [[Red Pikmin]], [[Yellow Pikmin]], and [[Blue Pikmin]] can be seen, along with [[Dwarf Bulborb]]s, [[Bulborb]]s, and a [[White Spectralid]]. An unknown [[leader]] is also seen, who looks similar to [[Brittany]] but with unkempt red hair and a full red [[spacesuit]] with white gloves and boots but without a skirt. In the first shot, a garden-like place can be seen, and for the rest of the announcement another garden-like place with a bench can be seen. It is unknown if they are the same [[area]] or not.{{cite youtube|AYR3DVFUnyc|the ''Pikmin 4'' announcement trailer|published={{date|13|September|2022}}|retrieved={{date|13|September|2022}}}}
 
The camera's perspective is different from the first three titles, now far lower to the ground. Miyamoto mentions that the [[Nintendo Switch]]'s controls have made controlling the game simpler, allowing the player to focus more on strategy and management (or "{{j|段取り|dandori}}" as the developers refer to it).{{cite youtube|UJ9Iz7HhU-I|h=1|m=0|s=5|Miyamoto talking a bit about the game's new features|published={{date|13|September|2022}}|retrieved={{date|13|September|2022}}}}
 
Miyamoto also showed off a new Pikmin t-shirt design based off the game's logo, which was made for sale in Nintendo Store New York shortly after the reveal.
