You can get a taste of all that is on its way in the above announcement trailer, or read on to get the summary of what to expect.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of <strong>stages<\/strong>, Sizzle Season will introduce the brand new Barnacle &amp; Dime battleground, which appears to be a fully operational shopping centre with some floating splat turf in the middle. Also making a comeback will be the Humpback Pump Track (try saying that five times fast) course from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/splatoon_2\">Splatoon 2<\/a> bringing its sloped arena into the series&#8217; third entry.<\/p>\n<p>Over in Salmon Run, the frantic egg-collecting game mode is also getting a new stage as Jammin&#8217; Salmon Junction joins the fray.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of <strong>game modes<\/strong>, Sizzle Season will introduce special battles into the game known as Challenges. We have seen three of these so far, comprising of &#8216;Too Many Trizookas&#8217; (everyone has a Trizooka special), &#8216;Foggy Notion&#8217; (the arena is covered in fog) and &#8216;Extreme Jump Battle&#8217; (everyone can jump, you guessed it, extremely high). Whether or not there are more of these around the corner we&#8217;re not sure, but mixing up the rules of battle is always a nice change.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"picture\"><a class=\"scanlines\" title=\"Splatoon 3 Sizzle Season 2023\" href=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/e6a224503f5be\/splatoon-3-sizzle-season-2023.large.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCA5MDAgNTA1Ij48L3N2Zz4=\" width=\"900\" height=\"505\" data-original=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/e6a224503f5be\/splatoon-3-sizzle-season-2023.900x.jpg\" alt=\"Splatoon 3 Sizzle Season 2023\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"caption\"><em class=\"credit\">Image: Nintendo<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Then we have the fresh new <strong>weapons<\/strong>. First up there is the Paintbrush, which looks to be a part of the Brushes family of weapons (that would make sense, right?) and has a slightly wider ink spread than the standard Inkbrush. Sizzle Season will also see the introduction of the S-Blast &#8217;92, a new Blaster which appears to be modelled on the SNES&#8217; Super Scope controller from the &#8217;90s.<\/p>\n<p>On top of all of this, the season will also bring with it the usual new catalogue full of fresh clothing and items and a new batch of Tableturf Battle cards.<\/p>\n<p>It feels like just yesterday that Fresh Season inked its way onto the scene and now it&#8217;s not long until a whole new batch of content is fired our way at the start of June.
