A leak could have revealed the release date of Pikmin 4, online before the official announcement from Nintendo. And it is that, according to what we know, the line of Nintendo exclusives for Switch is a little smaller in 2023 compared to previous years.
Although up to now, Nintendo started the year off right with the launch of Fire Emblem: Engagethe only other major mainline games the console is planning for Switch this year are The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Pikmin 4. And while Tears of the Kingdom already has a firm release date, it looks like Pikmin 4 might be over. close to what we thought.
You see, according to the Greek retailer Game Explorers, Pikmin 4 is now scheduled to launch at the end of May, to be more specific on May 26. And although so far it is not known where this date came from, but May 26 falls on a Friday, which is usually the day of the week that Nintendo releases its own new games.
Although this date should be taken with a grain of salt and as just a rumor at the moment, we have seen retailers leak dates like this on several occasions in the past, which means that this situation could have some validity, or at least be a good one. clue.
Probably the main reason this potential Pikmin 4 release date makes little sense is because it’s so close to the release date of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. So, for all those who don’t know, Tears of the Kingdom is coming to Nintendo Switch on May 12, 2023.
With this in mind, it seems a bit perplexing that Nintendo is looking to release two of its biggest exclusives of the year within the same month and just a couple of weeks apart, but even so, this wouldn’t be the first time, so We could say that we must not close ourselves off to the fact that this is really a possibility, the more we need to wait for an official announcement.
