Nintendo revealed more details about new weapons and a returning stage coming to Splatoon 3. These details mark the latest round of content updates about the upcoming Sizzle Season, which begins on June 1, 2023. The new stage is Humpback Pump Track and the weapons are the Annaki Splattershot Nova and Splatana Wiper Deco.
Humpback Pump Track first appeared in Splatoon 2 and is now returning for Splatoon 3. It’s based on a BMX track, with a prominent hump in the middle of the stage. It’s also full of uneven terrain, adding a greater challenge.
