The prologue trailer for the game Pikmin 4, titled "Rise to the Occasion," has been released

Introducing the Pikmin, small plant-like creatures that you can cultivate, collect, command, and use to overcome enemies! These curious helpers come in different types: Red Pikmin fear no fire, and the brand-new Ice Pikmin can freeze enemies and the surrounding environment. Harness the power of your Pikmin (and a dash of strategy) to explore this mysterious planet.

And there's even a dog companion for you! Oatchi (pronounced "oat-chee"), a loyal and dependable partner, can assist you in tasks like smashing obstacles and carrying Pikmin during your adventure. With these tiny Pikmin and a capable dog by your side, no challenge is too big!

The release of Pikmin 4 for the Nintendo Switch is scheduled for July 21.
