The new trailer for Splatoon 3 features a new stage
Nintendo dropped the first gameplay trailer for Splatoon 3 along with its release date last April 22. From the trailer, we can see a 4v4 Turf War battle happening. And like the previous Splatoon games, your goal is to cover up the map with your team’s colors as much as you can before the match ends.
Moreover, the trailer features a new stage called ‘Eeltail Alley’ where the 4v4 Turf War is taking place. The release date video for Splatoon 3 features a whole round’s worth of gameplay, and it’s definitely interesting to see the new things Splatoon has to offer its players.
Splatoon 3 introduces new weapons, stages, and special abilities
After Splatoon 2 launched nearly five years ago, it’s definitely time for an upgrade. Some new feature arriving in Splatoon 3 is a new single-player campaign called “Return of the Mammalians”. Similar to the previous games’ campaign mode, you will be facing off against the Octarians as Agent 3.

But if you want to play the multiplayer modes, keep in mind that you’ll need a Nintendo Switch Online subscription.
