Nintendo announced that total sales of the Splatoon 3 exceeded 3.45 million units in the first three days of its launch in Japan. This sales figure includes both physical and digital sales, and is the highest sales figure recorded for any Switch game in the first three days of release.
In Splatoon 3, players will leave Inkopolis for a new region, the Splatlands. This area is home to a new city called Splatsville, known as the city of chaos, where war-loving Inklings and Octolings gather together. The sequel features new weapons, maps, customizations, moves, abilities, and more.
The first game of the Splatoon series debuted for the Wii you in May 2015 and the second game for the Switch in July 2017.
