Pikmin Bloom is rolling out one of its most unusual updates to date - the introduction of pasta-themed Pikmin. The latest game feature encourages players to visit nearby Italian restaurants to collect special seedlings for these culinary-inspired creatures.
Niantic continues finding creative ways to motivate players to explore their neighborhoods, and this pasta-centric update might be their most inventive yet. Rather than promoting dining out, the game now rewards visits to Italian eateries with exclusive Pasta Decor Pikmin seedlings.
These adorable Pikmin come dressed in various pasta outfits, featuring both classic and unique Italian noodle designs. While unconventional, this gastronomic gaming concept will likely prove effective at getting players moving. There's something irresistible about collecting digital creatures wearing fettuccine and farfalle costumes!
Restaurants Become Unexpected Hotspots
The update transforms Italian restaurants into unexpected gaming hubs. Though the sudden appearance of Pikmin hunters might puzzle some restaurant owners, most will likely welcome the increased foot traffic. Players simply need to walk near participating locations to discover the special seedlings.
To participate in this pasta-powered adventure, players must first update their Pikmin Bloom app. It's a small effort for the chance to collect these delightful noodle-clad companions. The update blends whimsical digital collecting with real-world exploration in true Niantic fashion.
