Nintendo revealed two full minutes of new Splatoon 3 gameplay footage during this month's Nintendo Direct, offering a closer look at its paint-splattered world and the hectic maps we'll be roaming when it eventually hits store shelves. We're still waiting on an official release date, although Nintendo previously announced it's expected to arrive in 2022.

The new trailer for Spla📖toon 3 features plenty of high-flying action, grappling hook-like abilities, and an ominous interruption around the one-minute mark. You can check out the colorful action in the trailer below:

"Details are fuzzy but Splatoon 3’s new weapons are sure to intensify Splatsville’s multiplayer Turf Wars," Nintendo announced. &quo🔥t;And some very familiar faces will be lending a hand in the game’s Story Mode, Return of the Mammalians, where the Inklings’ world is about to get a lot hairier…"

Splatoon 3 is arguably one of the most anticipated Switch titles set to launch in the next few years, as the first two entries in the series were instant hits when they launched years ago. This time around, the campaign's central theme will be, "Return of the Mammalians," although we'll have to be patient before learning much else about it.

This month's Nintendo Direct also revealed that classic N64 and SEGA Genesis games are heading to Switch Online. The next Bayonetta game also made an appearance, and we learned that the upcoming Mario Movie will arrive in 2022 – and it'll star Chris Pratt as the mustachioed plumber.

Splatoon 3 is slated for 🎃a 2022 arrival on Nintendo Swꦑitch.
