GAMES: Splatoon 3 to be released on Switch this summer.

Spla­toon 3’s release date gets clear­er with each new Nin­ten­do Direct, and the game is now set to release on Switch this sum­mer. Pre­vi­ous­ly, all we had was “2022”, so this is a nice lit­tle update.

To accom­pa­ny the tighter release win­dow, Nin­ten­do has con­firmed that Spla­toon 3 will have the Salmon Run co-op mode pop­u­larised by Spla­toon 2. Tra­di­tion­al­ly, Salmon Run sup­ports one to four play­ers in a group effort to col­lect Pow­er Eggs by splat­ter­ing hordes of ene­mies. This time around, teams of inklings will take on a large salmon with a mohawk, cross chains and the scream of a tiny syn­the­sised Godzilla.

All togeth­er, the new old mode is called Spla­toon 3 Salmon Run Next Wave, pre­sent­ed in a vari­ety of fonts and colours.
