Niantic just released a new update for its walking-based game, Pikmin Bloom, to make the journey even more immersive, allowing players to reach their own wellness goals while having fun walking with friends and family. Players can expect to find new flower planting quests, an invitation feature for weekly challenges, and there are also some real-life Pikmin Bloom events that are coming to the USA.

Pikmin Bloom’s April update introduced a massive walking event where people could band together and walk a total of 20,000 or 100,000 steps between them. This helped increase global connectedness and friends from all around the world could squad up and complete these challenges. Today’s update takes things a step further with a new Weekly Challenge which aims to grow the number of flowers planted together. Now, players will be able to choose between either of these quests to complete, or they can do both simultaneously.

Completing the new challenges faster is more rewarding as well. Everyone who manages to reach their goal before a specific deadline will receive exclusive outfits for their Mii. Finishing a step-based challenge before July 17th will earn players an Explore T-shirt whereas a Flower T-shirt can be won by planting flowers before July 24th.

Players already could do missions together with their friends but this update’s new invite feature. Using this system, players can invite specific people from anywhere in the world to do challenges together. This way, you can invite your own friends and family to do things together. And to top it all off, Niantic is going to start hosting IRL events at specific locations in the US soon. Players are encouraged to use the #WalkOnGameOn tag and share their own Pikmin Bloom experiences on social media.
