Originally announced back in February last year, Splatoon 3 previously got a new story trailer and gameplay details revealed. Splatoon 3 is full-fledged sequel to Splatoon 2 set in the City of Chaos. It includes new weapons like the bow, additional customization options, new movement abilities, and more. Today, Nintendo announced the Splatoon 3 release date. It launches this September (taking Xenoblade Chronicle 3’s original release month before it was brought forward to July). Watch the Splatoon 3 release date trailer with new Turf War gameplay below:
