Splatoon 3 has just received another update meant to repair the issues caused by the 1.2.0 update that dropped a few days ago. To be more specific, the problems introduced with the Rainmaker game type have been resolved, and as such it has been added back into Anarchy Battle rotations. The update also addresses an issue regarding Super Jump landing points when a teammate using an Inkjet or Zipcaster would go into an Inkrail.

Here are the patch notes for the update:

If you’re a Splatoon 3 player interested in playing Rainmaker in Anarchy Battle, you’ll be out of luck for a bit. Nintendo has confirmed that the mode has been temporarily pulled.

The company said on social media that Rainmaker was taken out from the rotation in Anarchy Battle. This is due to a bug that can cause the score counter to immediately go to one when touching a checkpoint. Thankfully Nintendo is on the case, and an update will be distributed soon to address the situation. The company also apologized for any inconvenience caused.

It’s hard to believe that such a fresh property like Splatoon has already been around for seven years, but Nintendo’s IP that introduced the cute little humanoid squids known as Inklings quickly resonated with fans despite being on the commercial failure that was the Wii U. It was when Splatoon 2 took off, however, that the franchise truly found its following thanks to the Switch’s success. Interestingly, the quick turnaround rate of two years for Splatoon 2 to release made the game feel almost too familiar. But to the uninitiated, Splatoon 2 gave those same feelings that Splatoon 1 did to those that owned a Wii U. Meanwhile, Splatoon 3 had a chance to marinate for years – five years to be exact – and has seen vast improvements to the overall structure of the game and its heavily-focused online portion that doesn’t feel anywhere near as dated, bringing the game and its multiplayer inking glory to the modern day while looking as beautiful as ever.

Splatoon 3 has been out for two weeks this coming Friday, and Nintendo have shared a new video of the game. Titled “Fresh Inkling’s guide”, this is aimed at players unfamiliar with the series, and goes over gameplay features and objectives.

Check out the trailer and an overview of the game below:

Enter the Splatlands, a sun-scorched desert inhabited by battle-hardened Inklings and Octolings. Splatsville, the city of chaos, is the adrenaline-fueled heart of this dusty wasteland.

Even in this desolate environment, Turf War* reigns supreme and battles rage in new stages located in the surrounding wilds, such as the majestic Scorch Gorge.

Dynamic new moves help these fighters dodge attacks and cover more ground, along with a new bow-shaped weapon to sling ink and new special weapons, such as the scuttling Crab Tank.

Splatoon 3 is out now both physically and digitally via the eShop on Switch.
