    Splatoon 3 is coming on September 9th

    One of the first games I played on the Nintendo Switch, was Splatoon and now a few years on, the game is hitting its 3rd version with Splatoon 3 set for release on September 9th 2022.

    In Splatoon 3, Turf War mode can create some heated online 4-v-4 battles across a mix of new and familiar stages, where teams of four face off to cover the most ground in their ink.

    New stages include Eeltail Alley, along with a look at the stringer – a new bow-shaped weapon type that enables players to sling ink sideways and vertically. The new trailer available below shows all of this, plus a glimpse into some new gear and information.

    In addition to frantic 4-v-4 multiplayer matches, Splatoon 3 also features a fresh single-player campaign and the next iteration of the co-op Salmon Run mode. In the single-player story mode, players will join Agent 3 in a fight against the unruly Octarians and discover the secrets of Alterna and the Fuzzy Ooze.

    When diving into Salmon Run, players can ink up with others to fend off waves of dangerous Salmonid bosses, some of which are colossal in size!

    To start training for Splatoon 3, starting today, active Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack members who own a copy of Splatoon 2 can enjoy the Splatoon 2: Octo Expansion DLC on Nintendo Switch at no additional cost. Players can now dive into the large-scale, single-player expansion*** for Splatoon 2 with a paid Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership.

    In Splatoon 2: Octo Expansion DLC players take on the role of Agent 8, an Octoling who awakens without their memories on a dark subway platform. Agent 8 navigates through a mysterious underground test facility in this adventure that spans 80 missions packed with challenges. Anyone who escapes from these twisted depths will be able to join multiplayer matches as their very own Octoling.

    Splatoon 3 will release on Friday 9th September 2022 for Nintendo Switch. A new trailer shows extended gameplay and a new map in Turf War mode. Additionally, the Octo Expansion DLC for Splatoon 2 is now available as part of the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership.
