According to a notable gaming insider, Nintendo has reportedly started development on the next Splatoon game, revealing its codename in the process. The most recent entry in the Splatoon franchise is Splatoon 3, which first launched two years ago. Like its predecessors, the game is a third-person shooter with an emphasis on painting the opponent's turf through the use of cartoony weapons. The third game has been kept fresh with seasonal updates, including events like Splatfest to keep players engaged. However, it appears that Splatoon 3's time in the sun is coming to a close soon.
