Splatoon 3 Physical Pre-Orders Appear Online
For many fans of Nintendo, one of the most exciting updates during the most recent 2022 Nintendo Direct involved its popular third-person shooter title Splatoon 3. The company released a new trailer that likely built more excitement for the video game, given that it is slated to be released this year. Now, Splatoon 3 pre-order listings have popped up on several online retailer platforms. What's more, these listings indicate that physical copies of the game will be available for purchase.
The first Splatoon title ever made by Nintendo was launched for the Wii U back in 2015. The company created and released Splatoon 2 two years later, this time for the company's latest console, the Nintendo Switch. Since then, the action-packed series seems to have gained a loyal player base, prompting Nintendo to develop the prequel's expansion pack and paid DLC, Octo Expansion. The company seems to show no signs of stopping its expansion of the Splatoon series, especially since Splatoon 3 is being released only five years after Splatoon 2.
Splatoon 3 Fans Fake Release Date Easter Egg
Even though Nintendo featured Splatoon 3 during the Nintendo Direct, and reiterated the game's release period to be Summer 2022, no exact launch date has been shared to the public. Recently, online retail platforms like Amazon and GameStop already listed pre-orders of the title on their respective websites. The listings were priced at $59.99, which is the typical price range of a physical copy of any Nintendo Switch game. According to the Amazon US listing, the video game will be released in December 2022, but this is likely a tentative placeholder until an official date is announced by the developers.
