What you need to know
- Pikmin Bloom is a game developed in a partnership between Nintendo and Niantic, the company behind Pokémon Go.
- The game is rolling out to users in Singapore and Australia today, with more countries to follow in the coming days.
- Previously, the two companies announced that they had teamed up to work on a Pikmin game that was set to release in 2021.
We've known about the continued partnership between Niantic and Nintendo and the development of a Pikmin AR game. What we didnt know is that the announcement of the name would also coincide with the game's release.
According to a video released on YouTube Tuesday evening, which you can watch below, Niantic CEO John Hanke introduced the game, called Pikmin Bloom, and detailed how it'll work. It's similar to Pokémon Go in that walking around in the real world will correspond with actions in the game, but that's where a lot of the similarities end.
Nintendo previously confirmed back in March that it had teamed up with Niantic to work on a Pikmin AR game, which would be the first in a series of partnerships between the two companies. Obviously, the two had worked together on the successful Pokémon Go.
The name of the game leaked earlier today after users noticed it had been added to the iOS Test Flight app, which allows for beta testing.
