Original (5/16): Nintendo will kick off Sizzle Season 2023 in Splatoon 3 on June 1, Nintendo has announced. Details have been shared along with a trailer.
More new content is on the way for players to look forward to. First up, Barnacle & Dime is being added as a new stage. Also planned are a couple of new main weapon, the Painbrush and S-Blast ’92. Even Salmon Run is getting a new stage with the Jammin’ Salmon Junction. That’s along with new cards, a new catalog, and the return of the Humpback Pump Track. New challenges can be accessed as well.

Splatoon 3 is available on Switch right now.
Update (5/17): Nintendo has given a closer look at the S-Blast ’92 and challenges in Splatoon 3. We have the full roundup below.
Sorry—we're just so excited. Check out this video of the S-BLAST '92 in action. No batteries required! And note that jumping while firing is how you activate the shorter-range firing mode with bigger blasts. Keep your feet on the ground to hit faraway targets with precision. pic.twitter.com/tPHvMusgF2

Of course, you can still hop into an Anarchy Battle (Open) with a squid (or octo) squad anytime. Between Challenges and Anarchy Battles (Open), you'll have the flexibility to splat the way you want. Challenges can also be tourney qualifiers, so we hope you'll check them out. pic.twitter.com/PlT3wUedlL

Keep your eyes peeled for more Challenges in the future. From one with Too Many Trizookas—where you can fire the Trizooka almost endlessly—to an Extreme Jump Battle with powered-up jumping physics, the possibilities are endless! pic.twitter.com/g60jpRYaXL

Update (5/18): We have another look at Sizzle Season 2023, this time for the Painbrush. Check it out below.
SRL Ballistics back again! The S-BLAST was and IS cool, but we can only watch the video so many times. Now we're on to the Painbrush, the biggest, heaviest, and NEWEST brush in the game! Please hold while we watch and analyze our new Painbrush video 2,479 times. pic.twitter.com/symTmuaZwA

Update (5/22): Nintendo has now shown off the H-3 Nozzlenose D and Rapid Blaster Pro Deco in Splatoon 3. Check it out below.
And speaking of weapons with updated designs and loadouts, here's the Rapid Blaster Pro Deco! Now you can bounce attacks all over the map with the Angle Shooter and turn up the volume on your offense with the Killer Wail 5.1 special. Sounds good to us! pic.twitter.com/vWfG15efXI

Update (5/23): This time around we have a look at the new Barnacle & Dime stage as well as the Light Tetra Dualies and Tenta Sorella Brella. The rundown is below.
SRL here again! Buckle your Science Seat Belt (patent pending), because we've got tons of info for you. First, check out the new Barnacle & Dime stage in Splatsville! It's an upscale mall with a fancy fountain that doubles as a battleground. Shop, save, and splat all at once! pic.twitter.com/tXW3stSW8x

You know what? We're just going to hand Ballistics the mic. Ahem. Is this thing on? Check out the Tenta Sorella Brella! It's a more offensive-focused version of the Tenta Brella, allowing you to place Ink Mines or fire the Trizooka while using launched brellas as diversions. pic.twitter.com/SdIrZcExA5

And here's the Splatana Wiper Deco, which offers the same performance as the Splatana Wiper with a redesigned aesthetic. With sneaky use of your Squid Beakon sub, you can slip behind enemy lines and wreak havoc. Maybe even fire off some Tenta Missiles! pic.twitter.com/E52Ggl0dWS

Happy Friday from SRL Ballistics! Today we're showing off the Custom Dualie Squelchers, which come paired with the Squid Beakon sub and the Super Chump special.

Last one today—meet the Big Swig Roller Express! Despite the name, it's not any faster than the Big Swig Roller, but it comes with the Angle Shooter sub to help you set up a wide-ranging attack. And when the forecast calls for an Ink Storm, you've got the special to dial one up! pic.twitter.com/U4sfOQlrIB

SRL here with yet more discoveries on the cusp of Sizzle Season. Did you know that when two players on the winning team perform exceptionally well, they'll do a fist bump after their victory emotes? We do the same at SRL every time we publish findings! pic.twitter.com/iEypvCJBpm
