Splatoon 3: new details about weapons and game maps presented

After a long wait more than a year and a half, finally, a few days ago, during the Nintendo Direct, the community was able to get new information regarding several titles Nintendo, including the expected Splatoon 3, presented right at the end of the live as a big surprise revelation for fans. Unfortunately, unlike the other games shown, a certain date has not been set for this third installment of the series, if not talking about a generic 2022, but here they emerge today interesting information regarding the weapons and maps created for this title.

With the presentation trailer shown during the live, not much has been said about the title, although it really puts a lot of new meat on the fire for the community waiting for news. Today, shortly after the official announcement, Nintendo's Twitter account added new game details, as you can read in the tweet below.

In the tweet in question, in fact, comment after comment, it is explained how the tentacles of the characters can be intertwined, as if they were real hair. There will also be the presence of the sympathetic Smallfry Salmonid as a companion in the game and you will have new moves called "squid surge" and "squid roll" which will allow you to be more agile and have more maneuver on the battlefield. The most important revelation, however, was the presentation of Splatsville, or "the city of chaos", a result of what was the Splatfest Chaos vs Order in the second installment of the series. We talk about a large deserted area, very similar to a post-apocalyptic scenario, together with new and modified weapons to have a more "evolved" appearance, taking up the classic Range Blaster and the .96 Gal. Also interesting is the new bow-like weapon capable of firing three streams of ink.

It's been three years since it came out in July 2017 Splatoon 2, just two years after the first title of the original third-person shooter. With this long wait for the third chapter, this time it seems that Nintendo wants to take its time to be able to present a well-made product. Splatoon 3 is still far from its release, but Nintendo assures that more of the game will be discovered during this waiting time.
