The event will contain "roughly 30 minutes" of information and updates about the new game.
Salmon Run, the co-op 4-v-AI mode introduced in Splatoon 2, is confirmed to be returning. The Nintendo Direct is also rumored to contain information about the new single-player campaign mode in Splatoon 3.
A special-edition Splatoon 3-themed Nintendo Switch OLED will launch a month earlier on August 27 alongside a special Nintendo Switch Pro Controller with a blue and yellow color scheme.
