Nintendo insider and leaker Samus Hunter has weighed in on the future of theupcoming titleSplatoon 3. They started out by announcing over Twitter that the officialSplatoon 3Japanese website is now live, although the site does not contain any new information just yet. Then they declared that the game’s new internally-targeted release date is sometime in July, so fans can likely expectSplatoon 3to get a lot of focus from Nintendo in the coming months. According to the leaker, the game’s release date might be announced in the next few weeks—perhaps before the next investors' meeting.
Samus Hunter stated thatSplatoon 3’s official release date announcement would likely come through the game’s, or Nintendo’s, social media channels. Either way,onceSplatoon 3coverage begins, it will likely be ongoing until the game’s launch date arrives. The leaker also addressed fans who might be concerned about the lack of existingSplatoon 3coverage, stating that new trailers and even a dedicated episode of Nintendo Direct are planned. There will also allegedly be daily news drops on the game’s characters, weapons, maps, and enemies. All of this will reportedly hit after the launch ofNintendo Switch Sports.
Fortunately forSplatoon 3fans, this leak suggests that the game will have a sizable marketing push behind it rather than dropping without fanfare. In today’s increasingly media-saturated world, a good marketing campaign can make all the difference for a game.Splatoon 3may also be placing abigger focus on its single-player campaignthan previousSplatoongames, which could add a lot to the multiplayer-focused series. Whatever the case, it appears that fans are cautiously excited by Samus Hunter’s information, although some are suspicious that the internal release date could change. The arrival of an official rating for the game does suggest that it’s completed, however.
