## [](#undertow-spillway)Undertow Spillway

The new map is named “Undertow Spillway,” and it is an interior map situated under the hub city of Splatsville in an abandoned flood bypass facility. In the unveiling, we see a brief film exploring a section of the terrain, including off ramps, columns, and even some Jellyfish observers.

> Undertow Spillway is a former flood bypass located deep under Splatsville. Abandoned for years, it surged in popularity after it was renovated into a stage for Turf War battles!

### [](#about-splatoon-3)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 the Nintendo Switch on September 9th, 2022.
