With only a month to go until Splatoon 3 officially launches, Nintendo has revealed much new information about the game that fans have asked for for a long time.

There were a few important announcements that were detailed shortly after the broadcast. The details of the new Splatoon title were revealed in its most recent Nintendo Direct that was dedicated to this latest installment. To start, the shooter will have a demo allowing players to try the title before its release and learn about the new Splatfest variant.

That's not all; the company will release three new collectible Splatoon 3 amiibo figures.
