Game Overview

Splatoon 3 is the third installment in Nintendo’s Splatoon series of team multiplayer shooting games which first released on the Nintendo Wii U in 2015. Owing to its intense online gameplay, Splatoon has grown to establish itself in the realm of esports, spawning its own tournament circuit in 2018.

As with previous titles in the series, Splatoon 3 puts players in the role of Inklings or Octolings which are fictional cephalopods based on squids and octopuses respectively. These creatures have the ability to transform between their humanoid and cephalopod forms at will and are constantly engaged in turf battles with each other.

Gameplay centers around two teams of four players battling it out to seize control of territory across a variety of maps filled with different structures and obstacles. A wide selection of ink weapons are available to each player which include various ranged armaments and even weapons resembling everyday items like brushes and buckets.
