A new season for Splatoon 3 is set to begin on June 1st, and fans think it could be the last one. Over the last few days, Nintendo has revealed several details about Summer Sizzle 2024, and today saw the release of a video showcasing the new catalog. New wardrobe options, banners, and emotes can all be seen, as the video quickly flips through the pages.
If Splatoon 3 updates truly are coming to an end, we'll see one big final Splatfest competition. The final Splatfest competition in each Splatoon game tends to set up the next game in the series. Following the first trailer for Summer Sizzle 2024, many fans are thinking it could have something to do with the three idol groups from the Splatoon series: the Squid Sisters, Off the Hook, and Deep Cut.
If Splatoon 3 content is coming to an end, it's because Nintendo wants to shift resources towards Splatoon 4. The series has been hugely successful for Nintendo, and Splatoon 2 was released just a few months after the launch of Nintendo Switch. With a new console basically confirmed for 2025, it would not be surprising to see Nintendo repeat that for the next game in the series.
