All Splatoon 3 maps have been confirmed for the shooter sequel so far

To date, the list of Splatoon 3 maps has remained at 12, but that’s the only maps that have been confirmed for the shooter sequel so far. There are maps that return from the franchise’s past as well as brand new maps exclusive to the latest game in the shooter series that promise both familiar features and great new battlefields. Between this and the growing Splatoon 3 weapon list, we’re starting to get a good picture of what to expect. Here is the complete list of all the Splatoon 3 maps we know of so far.

Splatoon 3 maps

scorching passage

The first phase confirmed to take place in Splatlands (where Splatoon 3 partially takes place), Scorch Gorge looks like your typical Splatoon map. There are numerous high points towering above the map where attackers can rain ink on their enemies, as well as multiple alleys and back routes where attackers can get around those defending a particular spot.

eel alley

Now, it’s a map that definitely resembles a few from Splatoon 2, if not actually from the previous game in Nintendo’s series. Eeltail Alley features several criss-crossing walkways and paths that run above and below each other, which should lead to lots of vertical battles in this brand new map for Splatoon 3.

Sunday Fish Market

The Hagglefish Market looks like one of the more colorful maps for Splatoon 3, and while we Inklings are fighting, we can see the creatures still use them for their daily use, just like how Inklings and Octolings will hang out in Inkopolis. If you don’t want to take a quick trip to the respawn area, be careful not to get into the water that runs through and near this stage.

Undertow Spillway

Undertow Spillway definitely looks like one of the more industrial areas in Splatoon 3. With all the bright colors of Nintendo’s shooter franchise, it’s pretty easy to forget that there’s an industrial undertone in Splatoon, and nowhere more common than at this new stage, it’s complete. with gated walls for spraying ink and diving.

Mincing Metal Works

Yes, you guessed it – this map is based on a junkyard. When we saw screenshots of Mincemeat Metalworks in 2022 earlier this year, Nintendo revealed that this was a scrap scene and was designed to generate more scrap for some reason. Anyway, this map features cranes, scrap metal cubes, discarded vehicles and even a big rusty ship in the background.

Hammer Bridge

Hammerhead Bridge, the first of the returning maps in Splatoon 3, actually originated from the original Splatoon on the Wii U. If this new iteration of the map is like its original counterpart, be careful not to fall into any of the gridded paths along walkways and between cars, but in ink.

D’Alfonsino Museum

Another of the maps returning from the original Splatoon, Museum D’Alfonsino probably looks like one of the more flashy maps from Splatoon 3 we’ve seen so far. At least in the original iteration of the map, we fought around five spinning platforms in the courtyard of the museum, and from the pre-launch footage so far, it looks like we’ll have the same numbers this time around.

Mahi Mahi Resort

The third map from the original Splatoon, Mahi-Mahi Resort has the added challenge of the map’s roads and areas that change at a given timer. After about 90 seconds, parts of the map will move up and down, meaning you can suddenly drop enemies below you or risk splashing yourself. This map should provide excellent replay value based on these ever-changing parts.

Inkblot Art Academy

This time, the Inkblot Art Academy, a map that came to us from Splatoon 2, is located not inside a real academy building, but in the area between two high campus buildings. The academy has all the urban environments you would expect from this level, including paved roads, lots of cars, and even a campus pond.

sturgeon shipyard

Another map from Splatoon 2, Sturgeon Shipyard comes after Mahi-Mahi Resort, which uses changing paths to catch players off guard and quickly change the dynamic. This time, however, players try to climb a ship under construction, but the cranes above can change the layout of the level by moving the paths up and down at will.

makomart

Another map that comes directly from its predecessor to Splatoon 3, Makomart is basically shaped around your average superstore. No, you probably won’t be able to do your weekly shopping here, but you’ll be able to battle your way through boxes and other Inkling goodies for victory over your opponent.

Wahoo World

Another phase from Splatoon 2 with changing areas is Wahoo World. No, this has nothing in common with the event in The Sims, but instead takes place in the middle of a huge theme park. After all, kids love theme parks and this one has a central rotating platform, while the rest of the map is decorated with bridges that change, extend and retract at will.

It’s worth noting that the maps imported into Splatoon 3 from previous games may change based on the last time we saw them. In fact, a previous job posting shared by Nintendo in February 2021 was looking for workers to refresh existing stages of Splatoon 3. It’s different in Splatoon 3.

Splatoon 3 DLC maps

Yes, Splatoon 3 will support DLC after it leaves Nintendo. While the developer has stated that there will be free cosmetics and weapons to fight for over two years, they haven’t commented on how many maps Splatoon 3 will see post-launch or how soon players can expect new maps to arrive. at the shooter.
