Splatoon 3 update out now (version 1.1.1), patch notes
Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
A new Splatoon 3 update just dropped, with Nintendo issuing version 1.1.1.
This is a notable patch as there are changes and fixes to various aspects of the game. Splatfests, player controls, multiplayer, Salmon Run, and single-player have all been touched up in one way or another.
One aspect worth pointing to specifically is that Nintendo adjusted the rate of Tricolor Battle occurrence and from the defending team’s perspective, they will trigger somewhat less frequently than before. However, Nintendo says the change is “temporary”.
The full patch notes for the Splatoon 3 version 1.1.1 update are as follows:
