Believe it or not, Splatoon 3 has already been available to play for a couple of years now. Since then, the game has received a very steady stream of support, including new Splatfests, updates, and additional content and features. However, with the announcement of the Grand Festival Splatfest, there was speculation that Nintendo was about to take a step back from supporting the game in some way.
Well, it seems that that is the case. After the results of the Grand festival were posted, Nintendo confirmed via a social media post from the North American Splatoon account that regular updates will be coming to a close. What this means is that there will no longer be any new Splatfest themes, and updates containing new content have now stopped. However, there will still be Splatfests with returning themes, and updates for weapons adjustments will still be released whenever they’re needed. Big Run, Eggstra Work, and Monthly Challenges will also continue. You can see the social media post relaying the news down below.
I always felt Splatoon 3 missed the mark when it comes to meaningful content. The 1st Splatoon was awesome… play a minigame while you wait in the Lobby is a WIN!!!
I don’t agree, Splatoon 3 has a training room which is much better IMO plus it had a much more expanded single player, a roguelike mode DLC and a very expansive Co-Op, the battle mode was kind of a miss but that’s only one part of the package
Who would have thought
the passage of time is painful
Makes sense with the Switch 2 on the horizon
Sure…. But 3 coming after splatoon 2’s short lifespan doesn’t…. Especially when 3 could’ve been applied to 2
Tbh I don’t like that they charge you full price for a game they will only support for 2 years … + A membership to play the main feature for a online game…. +Amiibo that give you exclusive items and a concert hub…. Plus expansion packs… One just a hub and the other a story…
Feel like splatoon is Nintendo’s call of duty cash grab… Splatoon 2/3 is on the same console…both were still being played. What made splatoon 1 great was the free online. The game was a good experience and experiment.
I agree, splatoon title would be way much better if it was one game per console. It would make the community less divided, kids don’t have a lot of money, so it’s sad to see some of them who are big fans of the series staying on the older title because they can’t afford it, also paid online membership, if I was a kid during the switch days, there is no way in hell my parents would pay me an online subscription to pay online, that’s why those physical gift cards are still around.
