All Game Modes in Splatoon 3

Splatoon 3 is a Nintendo Switch game that is a dream come true for all painting fans. This is a fast-paced third-person shooter that is all about having fun. The idea is to be able to play the game as much as you want, as multiplayer matches usually last three minutes. Splatoon 3 offers a large variety of game modes to keep you invested.

Splatoon 3 Splatfest Battle Modes

• Open mode lets you play with friends or solo to advance in Splatfest.
• Pro mode lets you only play with random players, so you're on your own here.
• Tricolor Turf War is a new game mode in Splatoon 3. It's similar to the regular Turf War, but the twist is that it has three teams. The first team consists of four players, while the others have two. The goal is to ink the most ground, while the first team also has to defend Ultra Signal, which activates Sprinkler of Doom, which sprays team colors across the map.

Splatoon 3 Story Mode Return of the Mammalians
