About Splatoon 3
You have arrived in the Splatlands, a sun-baked desert populated by hardened warriors made up of Inklings and Octolings. The metropolis of Splatsville, also known as the city of chaos, is the pulsating center of this desolate wasteland.
Even in this barren setting, Turf War* continues to rule supreme, as fights continue to flare in new stages situated in the wilderness all around
Together with a new bow-shaped weapon that can be used to fling ink, these fighters have access to dynamic new maneuvers that help them avoid assaults and cover more territory.
The improved Turf War gameplay includes the following: It should come as no surprise that the residents of a town named Splatsville like playing Turf War as their preferred way to pass the time. Under the allotted time limit, two teams of four members each battle to mark the most turf on the map. There are several new methods that have been added, such as the Squid Surge, which allows players to swim over walls in a single burst, and the Squid Roll, which allows players to leap out of ink while twisting around. Both of these new tactics have been included. While a player’s character glows while performing the move, it also has the effect of preventing opponents from using their ink.
New and recurring fight environments include: The conflicts of the Turf War will take place in a wide range of interesting settings. Splatlands have their own unique levels, such as Eeltail Alley, Scorch Gorge, Mincemeat Metalworks, and Undertow Spillway. In addition to that, there is the brand new Hagglefish Market, which is a pier that is packed to the gills with lively street sellers. Also, several of the stages from Greater Inkopolis make a comeback, including Museo d’Alfonsino, Hammerhead Bridge, and Mahi-Mahi Resort, among others. There are a total of twelve phases in store for the launch, some of which were highlighted in the video presentation. Free post-launch upgrades will include the addition of more stages. *3. The members of Deep Cut’s trio: Deep Cut is a well-known group that serves as the hosts of the news show Anarchy Splatcast in Splatsville. They include details on the many fight stages that may be accessed at the moment, in addition to other news broadcasts. These updates may now also be read on the go while you are out and about in Splatsville, making this the first time that this has ever been possible in the series.
The return of the Splatfests: In these competitions, participants are given three options related to a certain topic and asked to vote for their favorite one. This decision determines whose team they are a part of, and the victor is determined by a series of fights fought over a certain amount of time. The Splatfests will be broken up into two halves: in the first part, the three teams will fight against one another in Turf War matches that have four players on each side. The second part of the match features brand-new conflicts called Tricolor Turf War, a new mode in which three teams compete against each other at the same time. In this unusual format of 4-on-2-on-2 competition, can the team in first position be able to protect themselves?
The world premiere of Splatoon 3 at Splatfest is: Attending the Splatfest World Premiere on August 28 is open to everyone who is interested in getting a head start on Splatoon 3 before its official release on September 9. The free demo will be available for download on the Nintendo eShop beginning on the 18th of August. Up to the 28th of August, players have the option of joining either Team Rock, Team Paper, or Team Scissors.

The primary weaponry of the Splatlands are: At the first moment of Splatoon 3, players will have access to all of the primary weapon types featured in the previous installments of the series. In addition, new weapons that are unique to the Splatlands have been included. One of them is the bow-like Tri-Stringer, which can shoot in three different directions at once and release charged projectiles that temporarily freeze before exploding. Swinging the Splatana Wiper generates centrifugal force, which in turn causes blades of ink to be launched in all directions. After gaining momentum, swinging it will cause it to morph into a charged slash.
Unique Arms and Armor: By inking a certain amount of turf, players have the opportunity to unleash various sorts of weaponry, and Splatoon 3 adds several exotic weapons that are both new and original. Among them is the Tacticooler, which, when used, causes a refrigerator to materialize in the middle of the battlefield, stocked with drinks that increase the team’s statistics. In addition to that, there is something called the Wave Breaker, which sends out sonic waves all throughout the region. The Reefslider, however, is a float that is formed like a shark and is powered by ink. When it moves ahead, it creates an ink explosion that damages opponents. Several of the most recognizable special weapons from previous games in the Splatoon series, such as the Tenta Missiles, Inkjet, Ink Storm, Ultra Stamp, and Booyah Bomb, will be making a comeback. The game’s primary weapons and special weapons are matched together so that players may select the combination of weaponry that best matches their play style.
Battle modes: There are a few more kinds of skirmishes that might take place in the Splatlands besides Turf War conflicts. Players battle against one another in Anarchy Battles for various ranks. Splat Zones, Tower Control, Rainmaker, and Clam Blitz are the four distinct game modes that may be selected from and played in any order. Players that like tackling difficult tasks on their own will enjoy the Anarchy Battle (Series) games.

Players have the ability to customize the modes and other aspects of their experience in Private Battles. You are able to play with friends in any mode that is available from the lobby, with the exception of the Anarchy Battle (Series) mode.

At the Shoal, players may also utilize local communication to compete against neighboring opponents in a variety of game modes*4.
The Salmon Run mode makes its return in Splatoon 3, and this time it needs all four players to collaborate in order to successfully harvest Power Eggs from the Salmonids that are attacking them. This makes it the most difficult Salmon Run yet. Salmon Run is a mode that may be played whenever the player chooses in Splatoon 3. Boss Salmonids, which include the brand-new Slammin’ Lid and the Big Shot, are the vicious monsters that the players will come against in this expansion. Even Cohozuna, a massive King Salmonid, has been known to show up every once in a while. In addition, there is an event called Big Run that occurs every few months. At this time, Salmonids flood the metropolis in which Octolings and Inklings dwell.
The Arrival of the Mammalian Invaders: The brand-new Story Mode is an excellent tool for learning the ins and outs of combat and weaponry while also embarking on an expedition to uncover the mysteries of Alterna, the Fuzzy Ooze, and how they are related to the overall concept of the game. Players will engage in combat with the Octarian Army, the soldiers of which are coated in hair for some reason. They will do so while playing as Agent 3, the newest member of the New Squidbeak Splatoon. Players are able to go through a variety of levels with their Smallfry companion, each of which has a unique set of challenges.
Splatsville’s lobby is home to a variety of different features, including those described above. Friends made online might seem like holograms or even real people. It is simple to enter a fight either on the side of the allies or on the side of the enemies. Players may also see what their friends are up to at any given time by joining forces to create a team and playing the game. Memory Player is another feature available in the lobby, which allows players to relive prior fights in their entirety, even from the perspective of another player.
Personalization by use of the catalog: As conflicts begin, Splashtags will become visible. They are able to be personalized with a title, backdrop, and badge of your choosing. In addition, the victory emotion that a character displays after successfully completing a fight is modifiable. The in-game catalog, which will be accessible at Hotlantis, a general shop located on the outskirts of Splatsville, will make all of these and many more items available for purchase. The points that players win during combat may be traded in for a variety of other products, including as seasonal apparel and ability chunks. After the initial introduction of the catalog, further upgrades will be made available once every three months for a period of two years.
Tableturf Battle is a 1-on-1 competitive card combat that is a derivative of Turf War. It is played in the Tableturf Battle Dojo, which is located in an empty lot near Splatsville.
