Splatoon 3 Revealed For Nintendo Switch With 2022 Release Date Source: Nintendo Nintendo’s “one more thing” at its first big Direct show of 2021 was a reveal of Splatoon 3, the latest in the ink-based multiplayer third-person shooter series. While we didn’t get many details, we did get a launch window of 2022. If the trailer is anything to go by, Splatoon 3 will have a single-player campaign that allows you to customize not only your player character, but a little Salmonid sidekick. The graphics look like they’ve gotten an upgrade since Splatoon 2, with the main character’s squid-locks and outfit looking more detailed than what we’ve seen before.
