Nintendo has updated the official Splatoon 3 website with new information after the announcement of the game’s release date.
Cloud support
Save Data Cloud is featured in the list of Nintendo Switch Online capabilities that will be supported by Splatoon 3 if you scroll to the bottom of the page. This implies that Nintendo Switch Online subscribers will be able to back up their data in the event that their Switch is lost, stolen, or damaged.
This is especially good news for Splatoon aficionados, since the previous game, Splatoon 2, didn’t support cloud saves, which meant that if anything happened to their Nintendo Switch, they’d lose all of their earned gear and game progress. Thankfully, it does not seem that this will be an issue in the third installment of the series.
About Splatoon 3
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.
Join Agent 3 in a fight against the unruly Octarians in story mode. Discover the secrets of Alterna, the Fuzzy Ooze, and how they connect to the mode’s theme, “Return of the Mammalians.”
Team up and fend off waves of dangerous Salmonid bosses in the next iteration of Salmon Run, a co-op mode with fresh new features.
Splatoon 3 will be released for Nintendo Switch on September 9th, 2022.
