Pikmin Bloom Journey 2025 Blends In-Person and Virtual Events

• Pikmin Bloom is gearing up for another Journey event edition
• A live in-person event in Sendai runs from September 20th to 21st
• Play globally in the remote version from September 26th to 28th

Live events have become a key part of Niantic's augmented reality games. After the pandemic, these gatherings encourage players to get outside, enjoy fresh air, and dive into titles like Pokémon Go and Pikmin Bloom. In fact, the Journey event in Pikmin Bloom has gained such popularity that it's making a comeback in 2025!

The Pikmin Bloom 2025 Journey event is split into multiple stages. The first is an in-person event in Japan, available to anyone in Sendai from September 20th to 21st.

Don't worry if you can't make it to Japan—there's a global option too! From September 26th to 28th, join the Pikmin Bloom Journey: Challenge Everywhere event. This remote edition offers many of the same rewards as the Sendai event, with the flexibility to play from anywhere!
