Description
Pikmin Bloom, the mobile AR title developed by Niantic in collaboration with Nintendo, is celebrating a significant milestone with its first anniversary.
Since its global debut in October 2021, Pikmin Bloom has consistently engaged players on iOS and Android by blending the beloved Pikmin franchise’s whimsical spirit with real-world, step-based gameplay—a design philosophy that underscores both Niantic’s expertise in augmented reality experiences and Nintendo’s unique approach to creativity in gaming.
In celebration of this anniversary, Pikmin Bloom is expanding its regular Community Day tradition into an extended Community Week event.
Unlike the typical monthly format, this year’s festivities will last an entire week, culminating in an enhanced two-day Community Day event on November 12 and 13.
This marks the first time players will enjoy such a prolonged period of in-game festivities, reflecting Niantic’s ongoing commitment to fostering community engagement within Pikmin Bloom’s player base.
A statement from the developers emphasized the goal of making this anniversary extra special for fans: “Simply holding a one-day Community Day wasn’t enough.
We wanted to give our players more time to connect, explore, and celebrate together during this significant milestone.”
Throughout the Community Week, players are encouraged to explore their neighborhoods and participate in a host of in-game activities designed to reward step-count milestones and encourage collective participation.
Pikmin Bloom’s unique mechanics—such as growing Pikmin, planting virtual flowers, and collaborating with others—remain at the heart of the experience, inviting both longtime fans and newcomers to join in the celebration via the Nintendo eShop and relevant mobile platforms.
Since launch, Pikmin Bloom has been updated with regular seasonal events, new Pikmin species, and quality-of-life improvements, reflecting Niantic’s attentive approach to post-launch support.
Nintendo’s continued partnership in bringing iconic franchises like Pikmin to new digital landscapes has contributed to the game’s steady popularity and critical acclaim within the mobile gaming sector.
As Pikmin Bloom enters its second year, the anniversary week aims to further solidify its role as a social and health-conscious mobile title uniquely positioned among Nintendo Switch and mobile offerings.
