In an exciting twist for fans, Nintendo has revealed a bold new spin-off title—Splatoon Raiders—for the Nintendo Switch 2. But that’s not all; there’s great news for existing Splatoon 3 players on both the Nintendo Switch and the new Nintendo Switch 2! Get ready for a substantial update arriving on June 12th that promises to elevate the gameplay experience with stunning graphics, smoother frame rates, and a fresh arsenal of weapons inspired by the Barazushi and Emberz brands. Dive into the details below!
“The forthcoming free update for Splatoon 3 on June 12th will introduce the highly anticipated Splatlands collection! This includes an array of 30 brand-new weapon kits, showcasing revamped designs and unique sub and special weapons from the popular Barazushi and Emberz brands. Additionally, players will be thrilled to see a classic stage making a comeback—the beloved Urchin Underpass from the original Splatoon on Wii U—rejoining the stage rotation.
Moreover, weapon Freshness caps will see an exciting lift, granting players the opportunity to earn innovative in-game Badges. New stats for Anarchy Battle (Series) will debut, featuring Series Weapon Power, which evaluates a player’s effectiveness with each weapon based on their win/loss records, pairing them up with similarly skilled players. This opens the door for users to experiment with new weapons while remaining competitive, as well as unlocking the full potential of their favorites.
What's more, Splatoon 3 players on Nintendo Switch 2 can look forward to enhanced visuals and a more fluid appearance in vibrant locales such as Splatsville and the Grand Festival Grounds. Today's announcement also confirmed seamless multiplayer gameplay, allowing Splatoon 3 enthusiasts to dive into the action across both Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 platforms.”
