Splatoon 3 just got a serious deep dive thanks to this afternoon’s Nintendo Direct, revealing new levels, new weapons and an all-new approach to Splatfests that will introduce three-way fights into the series for the first time.
Three-way fights come as part of the returning Splatfests, with matches during the special timed events being split into two halves, with the first part a traditional 4v4 face-off while the second sees a 4v2v2 fight for territory.
There’ll be a chance to sample this particular new flavour of Splatoon during a Splatfest World Premiere that’s taking place on 27th August – effectively a free demo where players can sample Splatoon 3 for a limited period, choosing to fight for rock, paper or scissors (it’s worth noting that the demo will be playable from 25th August , giving a small window for practice before the Splatfest World Premiere itself).
