I know for certain the Urchin Underpass announcement dialogue is going to directly call out that it's been ages since Turf Wars were held there, but what would be really funny is if they straight up said "Yeah, it's been reserved for Go Karting for the past few years."

(sees phone notification) "A video for Splatoon™ is now available."

Oh, is it more past Splatfest results, or concert footage? Oh, maybe some concept—

  • Single-player spin-off starting Deep Cut
  • Third kits and new ranked features for Splatoon 3
  • Urchin Underpass getting added to celebrate the 10th anniversary
  • Free resolution and framerate updates for Switch 2 players
  • Those last three times coming in two days

...Holy shit.

"The Go Kart company has been trying to branch into a lot of new locations lately. People got worried about the possibility of Urchin Underpass being left completely abandoned..."

"Wait why would anyone care if an underpass is left abandoned?"

"Ay! (It's basically a heritage site at this point.)"

It feels to me like this could have been a gameplay mode in Splatoon 4, unless there's a lot to it.

After all, Splatoon 2 and 3 have additional gameplay modes, especially the roguelite tower DLC in Splatoon 3. That feels like a game - albeit a short one - in its own right.

[up]personally i'm very happy that Raiders is a standalone game bc it means they had more time to focus on it, rather than having to bundle it in with a multiplayer game

that was mainly my problem with Return of the Mammalians: it was bundled with Splatoon 3, so they just recycled Octo Expansion with new missions and a new story and called it a day

Raiders looks new and i'm very happy about it


anyw would Raiders' younger Deep Cut be an example of Spin-Off Babies or an In-Universe example of Young Future Famous People? or both?

I'm extremely worried about what subs and specials they'll give to these third kits tbh

There's a good chance I'll never touch a Barazushi weapon. An Emberz kit is more likely to get picked up by me.

Good thing there's a bunch of subs and specials that I haven't used yet in multiplayer, which happens to have most of the competitive darlings.

Subs: Burst Bomb, Splash Wall

Specials: Trizooka, Ink Storm, Booyah Bomb, Wave Breaker, Reefslider, Triple Inkstrike, Tacticooler

So that's why the third kits were delayed for so long. I thought it was strange that the third kit, a staple in Splatoon's history, would be absent in a game obsessed with Rule of Three.

Also, Splatoon Raiders looks fun. I wonder if I can call it Raiders of the Lost Art. tongue

I think you have enough to make a page from your sandbox. When it comes to upcoming games, you just need gameplay, which this trailer has.

launched!

i'm entirely sure of Breaking Old Trends, Carnivore Confusion, and Musical Nod, while i'm fairly certain on Young Future Famous People and Your Size May Vary.

everything can be cited in the trailers!

So hold on. Is this a fully separate game, or a DLC? Because if it is independent, it'd have to be a lot bigger than any previous campaigns to justify itself. Of course, they were already experimenting with more replay value in Side Order... but it'd still need a LOT more than that if it's gonna be full priced, as it probably will be.
