Original (11/18): There’s another Peppa Pig title in the works for Switch, as Peppa Pig: World Adventures has just been announced. We’ll be seeing it sometime in 2023.

A new update has been made available for Pikmin Bloom, with the mobile game moving up to version 60.0.
There are a few notable aspects here. First up, new Mii costumes have been added. There’s also a new weekly lookback, quality of life improvements, fixes, and more.
