Nintendo is hosting a 30-minute Direct this week for Splatoon 3

Back in June, Nintendo held a 20-minute Direct to fully showcase Xenoblade Chronicles 3 before its July launch date. Another major Nintendo Switch exclusive is just around the corner – Splatoon 3, and Nintendo will be hosting a dedicated Direct for that game too. 

The next Nintendo Direct will be a special presentation showcasing Splatoon 3. The game was first announced last year with a Summer 2022 release date, and then ended up getting a new September release date during Nintendo's big February Direct stream.

Tune in on 10/08 at 2pm (UK time) for a livestreamed #Splatoon3 Direct presentation. Join us in the Splatlands for roughly 30 minutes of updates!

This week on the 10th of August, Nintendo will hold another Direct, this time focusing entirely on Splatoon 3. The stream will be roughly half an hour, giving us a look at new gameplay, modes, weapons and other changes.

We can also likely expect some kind of Splatoon 3-edition Switch console, as this will be one of Nintendo's biggest first-party games of the year. In the holiday season, the Switch will get a few second-party exclusives too in the form of Bayonetta 3 and Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope.
