We also got a glimpse of Cap'n Cuttlefish (who appears to once again beckon players toward the story mode), and Splatoon 1 hosts Callie and Marie. Many familiar NPCs return.Ī lot of very familiar NPCs are making a comeback, including Turf War judges Judd and Li'L Judd as well as Ammo Knights proprietor Sheldon. Both characters have all the same features and can wear the same fashions - from what we can tell, the main difference is purely a visual one in terms of their hairstyles and a few other small visual differences. Nintendo Splatoon 3 does away with “boy” and “girl” gender identities in its character creator, offering slightly more inclusive options.Though it seemed fairly obvious based on the footage we've seen so far, Nintendo confirmed that Octolings are indeed playable, and they appear to be available alongside Inklings from the start of the game. The publication also speculated that the group saying together “We’re not supposed to be anything” was a nod to an impending confirmation that Shiver would be nonbinary. As The Gamer notes, the Deep Cut hype group that Shiver belongs to rocks a lot of purple, yellow, black, and white - the colors of the nonbinary flag. Viewers hoping that Shiver would be a nonbinary character had some convincing clues to go off from the video showcase linked above.
Splatoon 3 releases for the Nintendo Switch on September 9th. But based on how it read the room here, I’m not holding my breath. The company has committed to delivering new content in the future, including paid story DLC that could be comparable in scope to Splatoon 2’s Octo Expansion.
I don’t want to completely rule out the possibility that Nintendo could introduce a nonbinary character later.
In the new game, you can choose between two different styles of Inkling or Octoling, ranging from masculine to feminine in appearance. It could be seen as a very small mark of progress in gender inclusivity that Splatoon 3’s character creator does away with offering “boy” and “girl” as the sole options, as previous Splatoon games did. Splatoon 3 does away with “boy” and “girl” gender identities in its character creator, offering slightly more inclusive options. And that while Shiver’s she/her pronouns weren’t mentioned in the Direct, they are used in the game. So we asked Nate Bihldorff, Nintendo’s SVP of development and publishing, who confirmed to The Verge that Shiver identifies as female. Following the mid-August Nintendo Direct that showed off what to expect with Splatoon 3, fans of the game speculated that Shiver, one of the faces in the new game, might identify as nonbinary.
