Splatoon 3[a] is an upcoming third-person shooter video game developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch console. It is the third title in the Splatoon series, following its predecessor, Splatoon 2. Currently, the game has a tentative release date of 2022.
Gameplay
Like its predecessors, Splatoon 3 is a third-person shooter in which players control characters, known as Inklings (Octolings are also playable, retaining their roles from Splatoon 2’s Octo Expansion), and use colored ink as ammunition. Ink is also used to cover the ground, or any paintable surface, in order to swim or refill their ink tanks. Inklings and Octolings can morph between either humanoid, or squid/octopus form, where they switch from walking and shooting, into squid or octopus form respectively where they can quickly swim through ink of their own color, and replenish their ink supply, as well as return to full health. The game features gameplay expanded upon the previous with new weapons, attacks and abilities and customization options.[1]
Development
Splatoon 3 is developed and published by Nintendo; the game was first announced in a Nintendo Direct on February 17, 2021,[2] and is planned to release in 2022.[3]
