Pikmin 4 Nintendo Switch 2 Edition will launch on 12th November, bundled with a new mode called Dandori Academy.

Nintendo confirmed the date during yesterday's surprise Pikmin Day Direct, which also revealed that a demo will land on the Nintendo eShop on 2nd November. Any progress you make in the demo will transfer to the full game if you buy it.

Dandori Academy is a timed exam mode. The Direct showed off one of its exams, Gargantuan Garden, which challenges players to collect gold nuggets before time runs out (thanks, Insider Gaming).
