This page details prerelease information and/or media for Splatoon 3.

So very stubbly.
This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion.
Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?
Hmmm...
To do:

Splatoon 3's development was mostly secretive, but many things were changed along the way.

The game's launch set a new record in Japan for being the fastest selling game with 3.45 million copies, beating Pokémon Black and White right before being overtaken by Pokémon Scarlet and Violet a few months later.

This trailer was completely devoted to the co-op gamemode, Salmon Run: Next Wave. This trailer showcased a brand new map, along with several new boss salmonids. One being a stick with multiple small fries circling it, called the fish stick. Another being a large salmonid that splashes down on top of you, called the Flipper-Flopper. The trailer also showcased a new action that is very helpful for Salmon Run: Egg throwing. It costs ink but will be very useful in heavy combat situations. The end of the trailer revealed a massive behemoth of a salmonid that twitter revealed as the "King Salmonid". This trailer also gave a release window for Splatoon 3: Summer 2022.
