I reckon too that it’ll be a new game, since more DLC will just attract diminishing returns at this stage. There are 10 million buyers of Splatoon 2 out there, many of which will be willing to pay for a full sequel. It’s tough to see what a new game can do though, beyond more maps, weapons and modes to justify another $60 game. But what if Nintendo went down an alternative route? Rather than releasing Splatoon 3 (or whatever they call it) as a full price game, Nintendo could try something different.
