As Squid Kids will be fully aware, the unique, bubblegum score of the Splatoon series is an important and distinct part of the online arena shooter series. This weekend, Nintendo dropped a funky-fresh sample from the upcoming Splatoon 3, giving us a sneak peek at the apocalyptic sequel’s vibe.
As performed by in-universe garage band Front Roe, “Sea Me Now” is perhaps a little more Orange County than we are used to hearing from the sticky-icky world of Inkopolis. The new track has a distinct pop-punk sound which reflects the chaotic, graffiti-filled hues of a landscape wherein all of the rules have been abandoned. Don’t worry, the utterly bizarre vocal style remains, weirder than ever.
Featuring a rockier vibe than Splatoon 2‘s more Hip-Hop oriented themes, it seems as if Splatoon 3 will feature a brand new sound accompanying its brand new look. Clearly, the new sequel will be going for a somewhat more anarchic vibe than its predecessors, (as anarchic as post-’00s pop-punk will allow, at any rate). This is all well and good, but I still wanna see my gals Pearl & Marina somewhere in the mix. I’m sure they’ll be making a welcome cameo appearance at some point.
Splatoon 3 launches September 9 on Nintendo Switch.
The melodious, punkish sound of rock outfit Front Roe has been swimming up the charts in Splatsville lately. Here’s a sneak peek at one of their songs “Sea Me Now” that’ll appear in #Splatoon3! ???? ???? pic.twitter.com/PjQfNSSzkH
