Splatoon 3 Update Accidentally Ships Balance Changes Planned for a Future Patch

Nintendo's Splatoon 3 version 11.0.1 fix inadvertently included balance changes meant for a future patch. The changes affect Rapid Blaster and Rapid Blaster Deco (ink-radius increase of about 10%) and the R Blaster Elite/Deco/WNTR (ink consumption up by about 14%). Nintendo won't revert them, as they’re intended for a future update; these tweaks aren’t listed in the 11.0.1 patch notes. A follow-up update will include additional balance changes, and Splatoon 3 will continue receiving updates on Nintendo Switch.

Inside Splatoon 3’s art: shaping Splatsville and ink energy

A Splatoon 3 illustrator explains the challenges of turning the game’s Splatsville setting into dynamic art. Early sketches overemphasized action poses, making characters feel small and energy‑deficient, so the artist sought input from senior teammates and developers to adjust composition, perspective, and ink quality. Attention to small details—expressions, arm angles, hair silhouettes—and matching ink texture to a “thick yogurt” read helped maximize charm across game boxes, ads, videos, and events. The role, led by someone who has loved the series since student days, required iterating with the team to preserve dynamic movement while conveying a rougher, chaotic world. Work began about a year before launch, and positive global feedback confirmed the improvements; a follow‑up title, Splatoon Raiders, is in development for Nintendo Switch 2.
