Game News Splatoon 3: Weapons, arenas, card game, roadmap and demo … The exclusive Nintendo Switch details its content
We were waiting for news from Splatoon 3 and we got it! For half an hour, Nintendo presented the content of its next big Switch exclusive, which will arrive on September 9th. The game modes are detailed in another news, so we will focus on weapons, stages or even the roadmap!
Splatoon is licensed from third-person shooters from Nintendo, quite largely geared towards multiplayer and competitionwith multiple layers of gameplay. There is of course the shooter aspect, but also the idea of occupying the land, which is done by projecting as much ink as possible on the playing area. This painting on the ground is also used to move more quickly, to reload weapons, and to energize the parties.

Splatoon 3: A more varied arsenal than ever!

If you are one of the players who were worried about not finding their favorite weapons in Splatoon 3, don’t worry! All weapons from Splatoon and Splatoon 2 will be present in Splatoon 3, which will arrive with its share of new features. Take for example the Piercerscapable of firing in three directions at once and unleashing charged shots that “freeze before exploding”, as well as the Eclatana Dotoa more oriented weapon hand-to-handable to squirt ink and land charged shots.
These two new weapons will be accompanied by special weaponswhich will be accessible when the ground has been sufficiently covered with ink. In Splatoon 3, players will for example have access to:
- The Districool: beverage dispenser that provide various bonuses to team members
- Sonar Paf: detect nearby enemies
- The CavalSquale: allows you to charge into the fray to make a mess of it
In addition to that, regulars of the series will find the multi-missile, the chromo-jet, the rain of ink, the ultra-buffer or the joliezator. In other words, in terms of weapons, there will be plenty to do and each player should find what suits him best.
