Did you have enough time to recover from the Splatoon 3 hype after yesterday’s Nintendo Direct? Okay, because we’m about to dive a little deeper.
With both Splatoon 3 and Splatoon 2 being launched on the same system, it may not seem like much difference between the two, but early signs suggest the new entry will have several new twists that the veterans of the series more than must be intrigued. .
Nintendo shared it a thread on Twitter, go over the finer details of the game, act on behalf of the ‘Squid Research Lab’ and discuss the ‘video transfer’ – which means the direct trailer above. We have set out all the new information below:
Splatsville and the Splatlands
Here we see Splatsville, the newly discovered ‘city of chaos’. It has a dated feel and looks quite densely populated. Research suggests that Splatsville’s development has accelerated rapidly since the Final Splatfest a year and a half ago, even though it is located far from Inkopolis. ‘
“We have learned that Splatsville is located in a wider region called Splatlands. It seems that the intense sun and the harsh environment have had a great impact on the inhabitants. In recent years, the innovative trends have been attracted to this culture as moths to a Bunsen burner! “
Games
“Even in the Splatlands, Inklings seem dedicated to the popular pastime of Turf War. The basic rules seem unchanged – two teams of four compete for the most ground. However, the residents of Splatsville seem to have taken their fights in the surrounding natural areas. of nature! “
“In the Splatlands, it looks like Inklings are entering the battlefield by sending themselves out of some sort of aviation drone. It seems they can even choose their landing site before flying into action!”
“We have identified two new ways in which Inklings can move. An ‘Inkfish roll’ allows them to jump out and spin out of their ink, and an ‘Inkfish push’ allows them to swim quickly with ink-covered walls and to the just think how these abilities can be used in the heat of battle … “
Adaptation (and pets?)
“It’s no secret that Inklings and Octolings can arrange their main tentacles in different ‘hairstyles’. However, it seems that these amazing creatures can offer more intricate designs than were previously known. Just look at this Inkling … It has a braid! What a day for science. ‘
“In the new video broadcast, an Inkling is seen accompanied by a juvenile Salmonid named Smallfry. Our studies have long shown that the Salmonids are a dangerous species. How this seemingly symbiotic relationship developed is an exciting mystery. Further research is needed! “
Weapons, new and old
“We also discovered a new weapon with a bow-shaped shape. It seems a bit primitive at first glance, but on closer inspection it is full of technology, including a mechanism that can launch three strings of ink simultaneously! ‘
“In the video broadcast, we also noticed some special weapons! In addition to a brand new one, it looks like the versions of special weapons in Inkopolis have been reconfigured. How perfect for the city of chaos …”
“Classic main weapons look viable in the Splatlands, although they do seem to fit into this unique culture. The .96 Gal and Range Blaster look significantly different from what we were used to, which will apparently make them stand out more than others. weapons of the same type. “
That 2022 release window looks ages away, is not it?
