A new gameplay clip for Splatoon 3 has been published, displaying a grittier look, a new co-op option, and a release date. As long as Nintendo has been hyping Splatoon 3, they’ve been exceedingly vague about what the next game will include. With the release of the new trailer, gamers can learn more about what they’ll be doing in the next game and when they’ll be able to learn more. Last year, the Splatoon 3 announcement teaser purported to depict a post-apocalyptic world.
Despite the fact that this is a game about dousing items with coloured ink, the visuals are a lot more subdued. The setting is reminiscent of a post-apocalyptic wasteland, while the people resemble scrappy warriors. Compared to the past two instalments, this one has a distinct and more striking tone, which may hint at the antics that players may engage in during the game. While Nintendo’s new Splatoon 3 teaser confirms a summer 2022 release date, no precise day was provided. As shown in the teaser, Salmon Run Next Wave, a new co-op game, pits two players against a swarm of aquatic monsters.
In order to do all of this and more, players will have to work together to collect eggs and ink the map. In addition to the bigger Salmonoid seen in the new Splatoon 3 clip, the game’s developers have yet to explain how it will affect gameplay. Splatoon 3’s fresh details, despite Nintendo’s efforts to keep them under wraps, point to an even more interesting game than the last one.
The scope has widened, the mood has darkened, and many details remain a mystery. Splatoon 3 is shaping up to be a fantastic follow-up and welcome addition to Nintendo’s first-party lineup, even if the company doesn’t reveal anything about it until the spring. Splatoon 3 may potentially have an open beta, but Nintendo hasn’t spoken anything about it yet.
However, it appears like Nintendo is aiming to delight Splatoon 3 aficionados with fresh twists on familiar modes and levels. Salmon Run was a tremendous hit in Splatoon 2 and it’s expected to be even more popular now that it’s been scaled up. Splatoon is Nintendo’s largest IP, so it’s hard to think it won’t keep churning out new material for several years, whether it be for this mode of the game as a whole.
