Nintendo Announces Splatoon 3 Direct For This Week

Nintendo announced that they will stream the Splatoon 3 Direct livestream this week. 

It will be live at 6 AM PT Wednesday Aug. 10th and feature approximately 30 minutes worth of updates. You can see the announcement below.

As you can see, there’s not much else to glean from this news. If you’re the kind of person who anticipates game-focused Directs to reveal information about other anticipated titles, I would say you should not do that with this one. It seems very much a “we’re only going to talk about Splatoon 3” kind of Direct announcement. You know what expectations are and how I could be mistaken. 

However, if you’re a Splatoon fan, it sounds like Wednesday will be an excellent day. Not only are you getting new Splatoon 3 details and information, but “roughly 30” minutes of it – that’s a lot! You can expect new weapon, character, map, and story details. It will likely be the final Direct focusing on Splatoon 3 due to the fact that the game arrives Switch just a month later, Sept. 9. 

While waiting for Wednesday’s Direct, check out this Splatoon 3-themed Switch console and then listen to this new punk rock-inspired track from Splatoon 3’s soundtrack. Then, you can check out the Splatoon 3 gameplay video.
