Splatoon 3 won’t be releasing on Nintendo Switch for a few more months, but the game’s developers have given fans something to tide them over in the meantime. The franchise’s official Twitter account has pulled back the curtain on a new special weapon that will be available in the game: the Triple Inkstrike! Based on the Inkstrike from the original Splatoon game, the Triple Inkstrike launches three missiles into the air, then the player tosses three beacons, directing them where to strike on the map. It looks like a pretty impressive special, and one that will cause quite a bit of chaos!
Boom! We didn’t want you to wait too long. Observe how a user can group ink strikes closely…or space them out strategically. Truly, this is a weapon that rewards the flexible and calculating user. Apologies for our earlier “boom”—we do get excited here at the Squid Research Lab. pic.twitter.com/nmuLgeiJaD
