Pikmin Bloom is set to celebrate its 3.5th anniversary next month, and Niantic is pulling out all the stops with a nostalgic twist. The festivities will kick off with an exciting new event starting on May 1st, 2025.
Over the years, Pikmin Bloom has delighted players with various fun decorations, such as Pikmin adorned with Mahjong Tiles and Playing Cards. For its 3.5th anniversary, the game is bringing back the iconic Nintendo game consoles from the 80s and 90s.
Additionally, a new Playing Card (Clubs Suit) Decor Pikmin will be introduced, paying homage to Nintendo’s origins when the company was primarily known for manufacturing playing cards before venturing into video games. The designs of these cards are inspired by Nintendo's classic playing card decks.
The event will run from May 1st to May 31st, 2025, giving players a full month to engage in missions and collect unique new Pikmin. Completing Event Challenge missions will reward players with random items like Game Button Cells, seedlings that can grow into Nintendo Consoles '80-'95 Decor Pikmin, and flower petals.
During the event, Brilliant Mushrooms will also appear. Destroying these mushrooms will yield Mystery Boxes containing Game Button Cells, flower petals, and other goodies. The Nintendo Consoles '80-'95 or Playing Card Decor Pikmin are particularly effective at taking down these mushrooms.
In May, players can plant red, yellow, white, or blue petals around flowers to see them bloom into stunning varieties such as carnations, sweet peas, lilies of the valley, freesias, canola flowers, or anniversary roses.
A nectar update will also be implemented, ensuring that fruit from mushrooms during May will provide nectar for both regular and special flowers, including carnations, sweet peas, lilies of the valley, freesias, canola flowers, and anniversary roses.
There will be plenty of other activities, including a Community Day. Make sure to download Pikmin Bloom from the Google Play Store and get ready for the 3.5th anniversary celebrations.
