A new update has been detailed for Splatoon 3, which will bring the Nintendo Switch game up to version 1.2.0. The update is set to drop on October 25th, but Nintendo has made the patch notes available ahead of time. Fans will find that they’re rather significant, and should make for a more enjoyable experience overall. The update will also add compatibility with the new wave of Splatoon amiibo figures, which are set to release in stores next month. Full patch notes from Nintendo’s official website can be found below:
On average, data will be transferred about .05 seconds more quickly than before.
Users can expect to see a reduction in the time it takes from a player being dealt damage to them being defeated, the time it takes from touching a Golden Egg to actually picking it up, and other similar actions.
These improvements cannot fully compensate for a slow or unreliable internet connection.
These changes mean that a pair of players joining an Anarchy Battle (Open) or Splatfest Battle (Open) can expect shorter wait times.
