Version 3.0.0 is an update toSplatoon 3 that released on28 February 2023 at01:00 UTC[1]. This update focused on content related toFresh Season 2023, balance adjustments, stage redesigns, and bug fixes.
Notes
| “ | This update focuses on adding support for theInkopolis portion of theSplatoon 3: Expansion Pass – Inkopolis & Side Order DLC, as well as adding data and features relating toFresh Season 2023 and making adjustments to battles. For battles, changes are primarily focused on ensuringspecial-weapon balance. We've made other changes with the intent of curtailing strategies that employed repetitive use of certainsub weapons. By analyzing data in this state at an early stage, we hope to release update data that includesmain-weapon adjustments before long. ForSalmon Run, we have introduced the limited-timeEggstra Work event in addition to a newKing Salmonid enemy. There will be one or two Eggstra Work events during Fresh Season 2023. For now, you'll need a group of players to participate in Eggstra Work, but we will consider adding the option to join as a solo player in the future. In addition to this, we have implemented various features, improvements large and small, and bug fixes. We plan on releasing the next update sometime around the end of March or the first half of April, and it will focus primarily on balance adjustments. | ” |
