Splatoon 3 Will No Longer Be Supported by Nintendo...

[@Crafty_boy70]

Misconception, this will be the last SALMON RUN map added, they said we will have updates for at least 2 years, so next season is most likely the last one.

[@_Serial_Something_]

Well hey! At least we have a another season until no more updates... Which make me sad..

[@Crafty_boy70]

@@_Serial_Something_ I've found the updates to be satisfactory, I think I prefer the seasons over the weekly drops from Splatoon 2, but I'm not sure. The only thing I think needs major improvements in the next game (assuming the direction remains the same) are the weapons kits, we need more of them and better people making them. The current team has NOT been cooking.

2 years of support for a multiplayer game is kinda bad. There's still so much stuff to add that would improve the game and give it more longevity.

[@ShadeKoopa]

They did it with Splatoon 2. It was only 2 years of updates. And that was being extended from the promised 1 year of updates for that game. Splatoon 3 may get an extension but it's anyone's guess. Just have to wait and see.

[@saltyapple]

[@ShadeKoopa]

[@mikasmith8340]

Knowing Nintendo they’ll probably extend content release because it’s doing so well and they’re adding all these new features, why would they add fizzbangs only to have like 3 more splatfests

[@ms.muffin7592]

Not to be rude, but this sounds a tad like someone spoiled. One of my other absolute favorite shooters, Garden Warfare 1, only got a years worth of support, but it was an amazing year with tons of updates, for a game it wasn’t even sure would do well at first. I was honestly surprised when I heard that Splatoon 3 was promising 2 years of updates right out of the gate, before it even hit shelves. I would really love to see even more updates for this game and other online multiplayer games in the future, but the fact they promised two years without knowing of it would sell well is already a commendable start, and we gotta keep our expectations realistic going forward. Not to say that they couldn’t easily keep updating it, but to just remember how they are going to continue from their money making perspective.

[@UrLocalSplatoonFanGuy]

Normally, when they announce a final Splatfest, that's the end of the entry's update cycle.

[@ashtongiertz8728]

My advice is to look at the content TF2 creators have been making despite the lack of updates. "Drip or Drown" by samwiz where he rates people's outfits, the Stereotypes series by Soundsmith, Mann's Guide (also by Soundsmith), Bad Weapon Academy, the "How It Feels" series, etc. There are also videos where someone discusses a map: how it plays, it's impact on the game, and its impact on the community. One guy even went so far as to talk about pl_badwater for 12 hours straight! There are many ways to milk content from a game even after the updates stop.

[@haikukyu]

bit of a misconception; the game has one last SALMON RUN map being added. there will still be updates for the game. there’s still a few weapons without second kits including the newly announced ones, and the map slots haven’t been completely filled yet.

[@LordExetior]

I honestly would love to see you make variety gaming content. That’s not the worst idea, helps you stand out more. It’s done wonders for KZbinrs like RTGame

[@crazykay9422]

Keep making Splatoon videos of you love doing it. Even if everything calms down, there's going to be a steady but fairly active attention for the games a while after no more stuff is released. If you also like other Nintendo games you could dip your toes into content related to those too.

[@MsShowtime]

Arms or Squish would be good games to cover on your channel if you do decide to switch things up. (And before you ask, yes, there is a Nintendo Switch game called Squish)

[@swampygaming2975]

So wait, why do people think Splatoon 3 is nearing the end of its update cycle? Shouldn’t Side Order at least add another year of updates?

[@mudkip984]

• I honestly dont know • but I do have a theory that some ppl aren’t really interested in side order or that maybe side order will be one update • either way I hope they have another big run.. and a final splatfest too. (That isn’t some random question that will barely change the game)

[@shaoji0009]

they said in the direct that there were only plans to add content for two years, those two years are almost up

[@zLumiNeonz]

They only guaranteed updates for 2 years post launch (same as Splatoon 2). Due to the timing of seasons I wouldn’t be surprised if we got both a sizzle season and a drizzle season 2024 tho. Then final fest in Sept 2024 and after that just balance changes, maybe an occasional splatfest or Sheldon’s picks.

[@Andrew982_]

@@zLumiNeonzWhat I’d like them to do is maybe stop doing new stages and major stuff, but port the game to Switch 2, give us an extra year of Splatfests and extra weapon kits. I doubt they’d want to invest a ton of resources in 3 at that point so if they did give us extra fests they’d probably reuse old tricolor stages. Maybe the big runs would just be reruns? On one hand I’d like more support but on the other hand I’m trying to be realistic lol

[@SimoneBellomonte]

Technically nintendo said that weve had 2 years of confirmed and guaranteed updates back then, oh and also S2 got extended back then so its pretty likely that well be getting S3 extensions too, just nothing officially confirmed.

[@TheProtagonist-g6r]

You can do all sort of stuff like challenges or play different game modes and maybe play some regular

[@babywizard9027]

I always find it amusing how people think that Splatoon 3 will stop getting updates after 2 years. Splatoon 2 was the same, where it was meant to only ladt around 2 or 3 years, and then the content got extended like crazy. What makes you think that the same wont happen now? My prediction is that Side Order will cause the game to have a resurgence, similar to what Octo Expansion did for Splatoon 2, and then the devs wont want to waste the momentum they got from that, and will extend the updates. In my opinion, that is the most likely outcome.

[@rhysduross]

there was some minor speculation that there could be 4 waves of dlc for the game bc there are 4 colours on the expansion pass. I think that is just me getting my hopes up though lol. Personally I wouldn't mind if they did continue updating the game but as paid content if it were $25aud per year or something not to pricey i would be cool with it if it meant more catalogs

[@agentblackbird9435]

I don’t really know how well Side Order is pulling people into the franchise as much as Octo Expansion did. OE had the benefit of being praised *everywhere* online

I may be a little late to give a suggestion but, what if you make game play content on the first two games? It would have to be the campaign for the first one, but the second one might still have servers up(I don’t really know might have to double check) and gameplay of the story mode and DLC for the second game would be cool to see as well.
