The release of Splatoon 3 is soon. Tomorrow sees the colourful shooter’s release on the Nintendo Switch, beginning the system’s busy fall gaming season. This four-versus-four online shooter revolves around claiming the most territory, just like earlier games in the series, but Nintendo has added a tonne of new modes and mechanics this time around to keep the game feeling fresh, including new stages, special weapons, and an extended solo campaign.

From the new Nintendo Switch OLED console’s availability to its release date, here is all the information you need to know about Splatoon 3 before it is released.

The release date for Nintendo’s “Splatoon 3” has been set for some time in the summer of 2022. Despite the lack of specific information from the team, it has been confirmed that a well-liked mode will return in the third instalment, and a recent leak might have revealed the game’s release date.

The “Splatoon 3” announcement was made during Wednesday’s Nintendo Direct by the Japanese gaming titan. The return of Salmon Run mode was also confirmed, along with a new game mode.

The name of this cooperative mode in “Splatoon 3” is “Salmon Run: Next Wave.” According to the trailer, the player and up to three friends will use ink shooters to combat waves of Salmonoid foes.
