Splatoon 3 gets surprise reveal, arriving next year

While many people were expecting news on already revealed Nintendo projects during the latest Nintendo Direct (which didn’t really happen), the company instead announced that a brand new Splatoon game is in development for Switch.

With Team Chaos reigning supreme in Splatoon 2, Splatoon 3 centres itself on a new city, Splatsville. Dubbed the “city of chaos”, it’ll be home to the game’s various Inklings and Octolings.

The announcement trailer showcases a lot of changes being made to this latest entry, including more intricate “hairstyle” options, and expanded movement abilities.

With Splatoon 3 being more than six months away, there’s still a lot we don’t know about what is coming to this third game. Nintendo has at least shared a few extra titbits on Twitter, promising to be “back in touch when [they] have more to report”.
