Splatoon 3
Splatoon 3 is already in circulation. Some copies of the game ended up in the hands of players in advance and some leaks are already popping up online (there are no spoilers in this news, don't worry).As you can see below, a Reddit user reported that bought a copy from someone who received the game in advance, as shown by a photograph of the Splatoon 3 box.
Also, an account called "Splatoon 3 Leaks" is sharing some videos in which you show parts of the game's single player campaign. The game ending is also shown: so be careful to do research, both on social networks and on YouTube. Nintendo will probably block these videos, but in the meantime you risk spoiling the surprise.
We remind you that Splatoon 3 will be officially available starting September 9, 2022 on Nintendo Switch. In case you have obtained a copy in advance, we suggest not to access the game with the console connected to the internet, as you may be subject to a ban.
Splatoon 3 has an anti-cheat system which has detected who has tampered with the code to early access an online mode with the beta: it is not impossible that it will be able to report who is trying to play with the full copy before publication.
