This is to improve matchmaking. On the other hand, Nintendo is planning an update for the three-color battles, as many players felt that the four-man team in the defending role was too difficult.
Splatoon 3 will be released on September 9th. If you didn’t find time over the weekend to get an impression of the game for yourself, you are welcome to listen to our current podcast episode, in which we provide first impressions of the game.
