Original (2/16): Splatoon 3 will launch Fresh Season 2023 soon, and Nintendo has now provided the first details, including Kraken Royale. New gear, new stages, new content for Salmon Run, and a jukebox in the lobby are on the way.
One of the highlights is the Kraken Royale, which is a new special weapon. With it, you can transform into a giant squid or an octopus. Here is an overview:
Let’s see the Kraken Royale in action. Notice a moment of vulnerability before and after the transformation, unlike the total invincibility during the transformation! Still, attacks slow you down, so be slippery with jumps, charges, squid surges, and squid rolls to hit your target. pic.twitter.com/XRddymxppE

Another thing shown today is the Krak-On Splat Roller, which has the Squid Beakon secondary weapon. And we also take a look at the .96 Gal Deco, a “powerful weapon that allows you to target enemies from afar, possibly while hiding behind your Splash Wall sub.”
Last for today! Introducing the .96 Gal Deco, a sleek redesign of the classic .96 Gal. This powerful weapon allows you to target enemies from afar, possibly while hiding behind your Splash Wall sub. Then, when the time comes, explode using the Kraken Royale and wreak havoc. pic.twitter.com/gWIDIqRpGj
