Believe it or not, the last full-sized Nintendo Direct broadcast from the consolemaker was presented nearly 18 months ago, on September the 4th of 2019. But while today’s Direct had a rather limited scope (focusing solely on titles scheduled for released in the first half of 2021), Nintendo had one big surprise up their sleeve…
Splatoon 3 is coming in 2022!
The third game in the ink-splattered shooter series will build on the first two games with a new central location (the industrial-looking Splatsville), new weapons, new stages, new maneuvers, and new styles.
Enter the Splatlands, a sun-scorched desert inhabited by battle-hardened Inklings and Octolings. Splatsville, the city of chaos, is the adrenaline-fueled heart of this dusty wasteland.
Even in this desolate environment, Turf War reigns supreme and battles rage in new stages located in the surrounding wilds.
Dynamic new moves help these fighters dodge attacks and cover more ground, along with a new bow-shaped weapon to sling ink.
It’ll be a long wait, but for now, the first trailer for Splatoon 3 has been embedded above.
