More exciting news is that Splatoon 3 will receive a new catalog for gear every three months, meaning you will have plenty of ways to make your Inkling and Octoling look fresh. This will continue for at least two years after Splatoon 3 launches on September 9, 2022.

With an ever-expanding amount of content, Splatoon 3 looks to keep Inklings and Octolings entertained for quite some time. Splatoon 3 already features an impressive amount of content at launch, but the planned free updates and paid DLC will give players much more to enjoy.
