Today’s Nintendo Direct presentation concluded with a reveal trailer for Splatoon 3, a new Nintendo Switch entry in the online multiplayer franchise. While the game won’t release until sometime next year, Nintendo has started to reveal information on Splatoon 3 that did not appear during today’s presentation. The game will take place in a new region known as the Splatlands. The desert area seems like it would be inhospitable to Inklings and Octolings, but both seem to thrive in the new city of Splatsville. The area is much more densely populated than Inkopolis, and features a number of distinct differences.
In the new video transmission, an Inkling is seen accompanied by a juvenile Salmonid called a Smallfry. Our studies have long shown the Salmonids to be a dangerous species. How this seemingly symbiotic relationship evolved is a thrilling mystery. Further research is required! pic.twitter.com/NXeTYkhk8m
