Everything you need to know about Splatoon 3

What's in store for the biggest Nintendo Switch game of 2022?

Splatoon is Nintendo's most popular new franchise of the past decade. While Splatoon 2 for Nintendo Switch still has an active community despite coming out close to the system's launch, Nintendo has confirmed a sequel is in the works during the first Nintendo Direct of 2021.

Splatoon 3 will expand the world of the first two games, highlighting the post-apocalyptic angle that has always gotten teased but never fully shown. Funnily enough, it's kind of similar to Cyberpunk 2077. The sequel also contains a new companion called a Little Buddy, new weapons, and a brand new city!

This is everything we know about Splatoon 3 following its reveal at the February 17 Nintendo Direct.
