The presentation did promise that more information was on the way and that we could &#8220;look forward to future updates.&#8221; However, the Nintendo Direct did give us a little bit more information on what content to expect in the game. After an action-packed trailer, which you can see above, a &#8220;squid researcher&#8221;\u00a0\u2013 complete with an official-looking\u00a0white lab coat\u00a0\u2013 took the stage to break down various elements seen in the footage.\u00a0<\/p>\n<article class=\"embedded-entity\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/mammals-are-reemerging-in-new-splatoon-3-trailer-1.jpg\" typeof=\"Image\" alt=\"\" class=\"image-style-body-default\" \/> <\/article>\n<p>Splatoon 3 will take place in a metropolis called Splatsville, AKA the city of chaos, where the crowded population has built continuously upwards, giving the location a noticeable verticality. The city is surrounded by the Splatlands, a place known for\u00a0its squid\u00a0and octopus natives.<\/p>\n<p>Splatoon 3 will not wildly alter some of the series&#8217;\u00a0most well-known features. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/games\/splatoon_2\/b\/switch\/archive\/2017\/07\/18\/splatoon-2-game-informer-review.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Two 4-player teams<\/a> will still be able to duke it out to ink the town\u00a0in their own colors. However, there will be new ways to win this colorful battle, including an inky grappling hook-like device.\u00a0Perhaps the most eye-catching change has to do with the game&#8217;s story mode, which is titled Return of the Mammalians. Little is known about what the resurgence of mammals will do to the game, but the end of the trailer does show an Inkling transforming into some type of hairy creature.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/2021\/09\/23\/mammals-are-reemerging-in-new-splatoon-3-trailer\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Click here to watch embedded media Today&#8217;s 40-minute-long Nintendo Direct held tons of announcements for fans of the company&#8217;s franchises like Kirby, despite some of the news slipping out a little before the presentation.
