Splatoon 3 finally launched in September last year and it is the best Splatoon game yet. If you’ve played Splatoon 2 before, check this out for save data bonus details and more. Today, Nintendo revealed the Splatoon 3 Sizzle Season release date, new additions, challenges, cards, and more. Watch the Splatoon 3 Sizzle Season gameplay trailer below:
The Sizzle Season will also see Barnacle & Dime being added as a new stage, new main weapons, new challenges, new cards, a new Salmon Run Stage, and more.
I’m glad to see Nintendo support Splatoon 3 this much. I hope we see it get supported long into 2024 as well with paid DLC still planned for the game this year.
