Here are the top 3 teams from the recent Monthly Challenge. Congrats! We'll have another Monthly Challenge coming up soon, so please look forward to it.

We've found the Spirhalite Islands to be surprisingly vast and diverse, consisting of many different biomes and even having an expansive underground. There are some traces of civilization as well…could it have something to do with the Salmonids?

In #SplatoonRaiders you'll play as a mechanic who was piloting Deep Cut to their destination when the helicopter crash landed. Your ability to tinker with gadgets, equipment, and the ship will be key to this treasure hunt!

One member of Deep Cut will accompany you on raids by riding in the Bot. Not only will they shoot ink at foes, but they'll also provide support by launching you into the air or drilling into the ground. #SplatoonRaiders

As a mechanic, you'll get gadgets to go along with your weapon loadout. Gadgets can do all sorts of things—like give you a fast-moving attack or a turret—and typically reset on a cooldown. #SplatoonRaiders

It turns out the Spiralhite Islands in #SplatoonRaiders are packed with Salmonids, and the local variety is both more colorful and more vicious. We've even spotted a few types not found at all in other regions.

You can adventure on your own in Splatoon Raiders, but you can also bring up to three other players in on the action, near or far. Don't worry about balance or difficulty—whether you team up with friends or go solo, it all evens out!

Some new Deep Cut amiibo figures will also be coming on July 23rd! Shiver, Frye, and Big Man are sporting their Spirhalite Island looks. Each of them also connects to a base so you can display them together.

We've got the latest research on #SplatoonRaiders! Catch a glimpse of adventure on the Spirhalite Islands in this video. Additionally, the launch date has been discovered! Venture out to the islands and hunt for treasure starting July 23rd. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jaag...

Spring Fest has sprung, and with a 580p score Team Bear Cubs have secured the win! Thanks as always to everyone that got in on the fun, and be sure to claim your super sea snails in the plaza.

A special Spring Fest Splatfest is on the way! This celebration of fuzzy flufiness begins April 10 at 5pm PT, until April 12 5pm PT. Are you with team Baby Chicks, Li'l Bunnies, or Bear Cubs?

Our lead illustration researcher is working overtime! In some places it's customary to give a gift back to your Valentine, though nonchalantly flinging white chocolate at them like Pearl and Marie are doing here seems less customary.

March is here, and so is the 2026 Fresh Season! Here's your look at this month's big events in Splatoon 3, including a Big Run event from March 13 to March 15 at Eeltail Alley. Word is King Salmonids may appear so come prepared!

February's Monthly Challenge takes place from Feb 21 to Feb 22, and this time you'll need to keep it moving with Tower Control battles!

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day and our lead illustration researcher has provided this new image featuring Callie, Marina, and some seasonal sweets! Maybe share this with someone close to your heart?

[Notice] Update data Ver. 11.0.1 accidentally included some weapon performance changes ahead of their originally intended release date. Details regarding this have been added to the following page: ninten.do/6013Qu2Ol We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience.

[Notification] Update data Ver 11.0.0 for #Splatoon3 is now available. Please see the following page for additional details: ninten.do/6010SqvMG

The research continues: In Ver. 11.0.0 if you have the Stealth Jump gear ability equipped and Super Jump to a far away location, your flight time will take longer. Additionally, weapon balance updates will be included. The Ver. 11.0.0 update drops Jan 29!

In Ver. 11.0.0 Inklings and Octolings' hitboxes when in squid form and when submerged in ink will be smaller than before and harder to hit.

Ver. 11.0.0 also adds a new visual indicator of how much health a damaged Inkling or Octoling has left. Use this info to help see which of your allies is in trouble or decide if it's time to push the advantage.

The SRL research team is proud to present new findings about Ver. 11.0.0! First up is the Flow Aura state. If you splat multiple opponents without getting splatted yourself you'll automatically ink the ground around you and your physical abilities will all be slightly improved.

Grizzco is hiring, and they want YOU! Clock in to an Eggstra Work event at Bonerattle Arena from Feb 13, 4pm PT to Feb 15, 4pm PT.
