The Pikmin 4 game is still in progress, Nintendo chief creative Shigeru Miyamoto told Eurogamer this week during E3.

Nintendo followed up with a statement to the site saying: "We can confirm that Pikmin 4 is in development but that is all we can confirm at present."

The game was first mentioned to Eurogamer in July 2015 with Miyamoto saying at the time that it was “very close to completion.” Adding that “Pikmin teams are always working on the next one.”

Fans looking for a taste of Pikmin before whenever Pikmin 4 hits, can dive into Hey! Pikmin when it hits on July 28 alongside the New Nintendo 2DS XL.

But don’t forget that the game isn’t a typical Pikmin title and isn’t being developed internally.
