Nintendo showcases new content for Splatoon 3 ahead of September launch

Nintendo is gearing up for Splatoon 3's launch in September, and just as promised, we got 30 minutes of new gameplay and updates for the game in a Nintendo Direct this afternoon. 

Splatoon 3 will see the return of the game modes we already know and love, as well as a brand new co-op mode called Salmon Run Next Wave. Nintendo will also be releasing a demo later this month, but you'll need a Nintendo Switch Online subscription to play it. The online modes will feature brand new maps, as well as some old favourites, but the core gameplay is the same – leave the most paint around the map.

You can watch the full Nintendo Direct presentation below:

Splatoon 3 will brings a new area, the Splatlands, as well as a new hub city where players can gather before heading into multiplayer games – Splatsville. Players can also expect a range of new weapons and maps, as well as post-launch content updates, just as we saw with Splatoon 2.

Splatoon 3 is releasing on the 9th of September exclusively for Nintendo Switch. Discuss on our Facebook page, HERE.

KitGuru Says: Splatoon 2 was a lot of fun and I don't think Nintendo will ruin the gameplay in anyway moving on to Splatoon 3. Are any of you planning on picking this up later in the year?

KitGuru Games: Corporate nonsense has put Helldivers 2 in jeopardy as game removed from over 170 countries

It tends to take a lot for gamers to 'forgive' a studio after messing up a launch, for instance CD Projekt Red had to spend three additional years developing Cyberpunk 2077 before many were willing to give the game another shot. In the case of Helldivers 2, despite the game having some rough server issues at launch, the game turned out to be so good that many players simply waited things out, without leaving a trail of negative reviews. Now, a case of incredibly poor communication and a poorly thought-out plan from the game's publisher, Sony, has put Helldivers 2 in jeopardy, with the game being removed from over 170 countries.
