"Pikmin 4" is the tentative name for the next main game in the Pikmin series. Not much information is currently known about the project, other than it has been confirmed, and currently, it is "very close to completion". Nothing else is currently known, not even the actual name, the console, or the release date.
Known information
On January 5th, 2015, Smosh Games uploaded an interview with Shigeru Miyamoto, in which he confirmed that Pikmin 4 was being developed.[1]
On September 7th, 2015, Eurogamer unveiled that, in an exclusive interview, Shigeru Miyamoto once again confirmed the development of the game, and claimed that it was nearing completion.[2] In this article, Nintendo spoke to Eurogamer as well, where they revealed the following quote: “We can confirm that Pikmin 4 is in development but that is all we can confirm at present.”. It is not known if the "Pikmin 4" mentioned in that quote is the actual name for the game that Nintendo used, or if it is the result of the quote's English translation. The validity of the author of that quote is also not known, and it is possible that the name is only a placeholder.
Finally, in an interview uploaded by YOGSCAST Kim, Takashi Tezuka states that "(...)It's consistently Pikmin, but this year it's definitely the fox, the falcon, the rabbit & the frog", hinting that the company's greatest focus for 2015 is Star Fox, and so, that Pikmin 4 might release at a later year.[3]
