Posted on May 1, 2023 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch
Nintendo has prepared another update for Splatoon 3, with the game moving up to version 3.1.1.
This patch isn’t as huge as some of the more recent ones we’ve seen, but it’s still pretty noteworthy. Nintendo added in data for future Splatfests and made some visual adjustments to the events. Also, a few fixes are included.
The full patch notes for the Splatoon 3 version 3.1.1 update are as follows:
Changes to Splatfests
- Data relating to future Splatfests has been added.
- Adjusted things like screen brightness and ink coloring on stages during Splatfests.
In addition to adding data relating to future Splatfests, we released this update to adjust how stages look during Splatfests. Please note that we plan on making further changes to ink coloring when using Color Lock in the next update.
The next update is scheduled to be released at the end of the current season. It will focus primarily on balance adjustments and adding features for the new season starting in June.
Fixes to Multiplayer
- Fixed an issue where players who Super Jumped to a player who was using a Zipcaster would sometimes land in an unintended location.
Fixes to Salmon Run
- Fixed an issue that sometimes caused the game to crash at the start of a special wave in rare cases.
Fixes to Splatfests
- Fixed an issue where the music and performances in Splatsville and Inkopolis during a Splatfest would become out of sync if the main menu was open for a long time.
Other Fixes
- Fixed an issue where edits to a player’s locker would be canceled if the player was editing during a schedule transition.
Note: Compatible with Ver. 3.1.0 battle replays. Not compatible with Ver. 3.0.1 or earlier battle replays.
All players on Switch can download the new version 3.1.1 update for Splatoon 3 now.
