Hey everyone, Jonas AlbrechtSpraylan here to guide you through the upcoming sequel to Nintendo's most powerful Franchise, Splatoon.


Splatoon is first and foremost an online multiplayer 4v4 competitive game. In the main mode, Turf Wars, you attempt to ink the most turf to win, using a variety of fun, colorful weapons. There are ranked modes as well, but none of have been confirmed for Splatoon 3.



The single player mode, called Hero Mode, has so far been a series of platformer stages spread across multiple areas, each with their own boss battle. Splatoon 3's version seems to be adding a Mario Sunshine-esque clean up mechanic, where you use your salmonid friend, Lil' Buddy, to remove harmful ink that will mammalify any inkling/octoling that touches them.

The co-op mode is called Salmon Run. You and three friends take the role of part time employees at GrizzCo, where you will ambush humanoid salmon in their homes in order to steal their eggs to be used as an alternate energy source.

[Gonna post about the different weapons here later]

[Gonna post a bunch of Inklings and Octolings here later]
Part of the fun of Splatoon has thus far been customizng your own character via character creation options, as well as gear in the form of head wear, shirts, and shoes. There is a lot of gear, so gently caress around and come up with a cool look.

There's also an active Splatoon community in the Nintengoons Discord channel, so if you wanna make some friends to splat, I highly encourage you to join! Link

I'm hyped to try the bow out, along with whatever other new weapons they introduce. I bet there's going to be at least one more aside from the bow.

John Lennon, Singer of The Beatles. He wrote the song "Imagine" and was shot and killed some time in the eighties.

Fuck has the WHOLE WORLD GONE CRAZY!

It will be interesting to see at which percentages splat zones capture and neutralize for Splatoon 3.

Great news, all weapon types will have at least 1 kit in the game at launch. So no cases like, Brella is available in Hero mode, but not multiplayer until it's officially released. Or having to wait months to be able to use the Hydra Splatling or Bamboozler.

Hurry up and reveal the new jumbotron duo so I can preemptively fixate and stan for the one that's going to have all the correct opinions and then lose the splat off anyway.

I doubt they'll do it, but I hope they somehow decouple the fashion from abilities, either by making them two separate things or by creating a process where you can change the main ability for a piece of gear.

Abilities being on a point-buy system instead of tying them to clothes would make the most sense, which means they will never, ever do it.

There were so many marker puns they could have easily gone with, and they ended up with whatever the hell angle shooter is. Even the Japanese name mentions the marker.

They're giving us pants. This raises a lot of questions.

It's not clear if they're actually a gear slot or they just added more pants options to pick during character customization. I have a feeling it's the latter.
