Splatoon 3 is the upcoming game in the Splatoon series that will follow Splatoon 2 with familiar gameplay mechanics, weapon systems, weapon classes, and characters. Popular characters will make a reappearance and it will be possible for players to enjoy the game in more regions with Splatoon 3 being the only game from the series that will be available in regional languages like Korean and Chinese. Like other games in the series, it will be a third-person shooter with players divided into 2 teams of 4. The gameplay revolves around the playable characters and their transition between squid and humanoid mode and the spreading of ink to conquer the territories of the opposing team.
The game is set to take place in Splatlands, a sun-scorched desert where Splatsville is the location worthy of note. It is in Splatsville that the final Splatdown happened in the previous game and is likely why the developers have developed the location of the game after chaos. The game’s singleplayer mode “Return of the Mammalians” will feature in a new location called Alterna which is shown to be filled with some kind of ooze. It is to be seen how this will affect gameplay. Players will have access to the new movement and dodge techniques which can be used in the online and offline play to move and transition between locations easier.
