Pikmin Bloom

Pikmin Bloom, the location-based game from Niantic and Nintendo, is in active support with a permanent Yokosuka walk event and a collaboration with The Super Mario Galaxy Movie tied to its 4.5-year anniversary.

Synthesized from 2 Yomimono stories · updated Aug 9

Pikmin Bloom, the location-based game from Niantic and Nintendo, marked its 4.5-year anniversary on June 1, 2026. The milestone came with a collaboration tied to The Super Mario Galaxy Movie and a real-world event in Seoul. The game continues to center on casual walking mechanics and Decor Pikmin collection, which the anniversary coverage highlighted as core to the experience.

In August 2026, the game added a permanent event, Anytime Walk: Pikmin Bloom Tour in Yokosuka. The event reuses the course from the 2023 real-world Yokosuka tour but updates the spots and the obtainable Golden Seedlings. Players can walk the course on any day, and special tickets cost 700 coins, allowing one participation per year per location. The permanent format gives both new players and those who attended the 2023 event a reason to revisit the city.

Together, the two stories show Niantic and Nintendo still actively supporting Pikmin Bloom with cross-promotional content and live events. The permanent Yokosuka event and the movie collaboration keep the title relevant for new and returning players alike.
