Splatoon 3 is the latest game in the Splatoon series, where players face each other in two teams consisting of four players, claiming the region by covering it with ink in the Turf War battle.

In addition to the bungga game story mode, Splatoon 3 also has competitive online multiplayer mode. To improve the quality of the game, Nintendo added new weapons, special weapons, and actions into Splatoon 3.

As a live sequel to Splatoon 2, Splatoon 3 is set in Splatsville, a chaotic city filled with various elements. You can enjoy various kinds of fighting, not only the Turf War battle, but also Story Mode where players can fight and find a mysterious place called Alterna herself.

Next, there's also the Salmon Run game mode, where you can play up to four players to work with and parry for a strong boss.

Of course, support does not end at launch. Nintendo will add more weapons and stages through an update over the next two years following launch.

Nintendo will also host events like Splatfests, where players are divided into three teams to claim territory and overall victory. Players can connect with others around the world online, or play together offline, each with their own Nintendo Switch system.
