Ways to Play

As the latest game in the Splatoon franchise, Splatoon 3 will be available as an official high school and middle school league. Find more information about how to play Splatoon 3 in our leagues below:

How It’s Played

Players control characters known as Inklings and Octolings. Ink the ground or any inkable surface to swim or refill their ink tanks. Players can morph between a kid or a squid — where they change from running and ink-slinging into squid-form where they can find shortcuts and reach different spots to lay down ink.

The Game

Each team of 4 will compete in 5 different game modes: Turf War, Splat Zones, Tower Control, Rainmaker, and Clam Blitz. While all of them play differently, each mode requires teams to communicate and coordinate to take home the win!

The Action

Players adjust their equipment loadout to ink, hide, and ambush foes! Inking the ground helps build up the special gauge to unleash a decisive move and turn the tide of battle.

The Goal

Teams will compete in a few different game modes, but the main objective will remain the same - work together to accomplish the goal and take home the win!
