Splatoon 3’s full weapons list has not been confirmed at this time, however, Nintendo Europe revealed in its Twitter account that basic weapons from Splatoon and Splatoon 2 will be included.

Some of the weapons that will be returning include fan favorites Aerospray, and Splattershot Pro.

NAMEPLATES SPOTTED IN RELEASE DATE TRAILER


 

In addition to the game’s release date and Turf War gameplay, the Release Date Announcement Trailer also showcased a new feature in the game’s multiplayer — NAMEPLATES.

Nameplates are a common feature in PvP games, because it gives players’ characters in-game personality aside from other customization options like species.
