With Splatoon 2 being a huge success, selling even faster than the original which sold over 4 million on the Wii U, it makes me excited to think of the future of the franchise!
Since I feel they stuck a bit too close to Splatoon 1's game content and structure, I feel Splatoon 3 could be the game to really expand on the concept and potential of the series. Here are some possibilities of future ideas I could come up with for future games!
Create an adventure mode:
Just looking at the backgrounds for all of the overworlds in the single player mode just makes me wish they created an adventure mode with this game's traveling mechanics. Like image traversing the Breath of the Wild world with ink mechanics, shooting enemies, climbing walls via ink, storming a castle-ish building and fighting a boss with a story. A real story, not what what we got in 1 and 2. There could also be spectacle events like the Divine Beast in Zelda or set pieces like in Uncharted! That would be amazing and I would pay big money to play that.
Capture the flag:
Simple and easy universal game mode in many multiplayer games. It'd be fun.
Hide and seek:
This mode could either be like a survival last squid standing mode where you play against 7 other players, or 4 v 4, and your objective is to be the last squid or team standing
or it could be like an adaptation of Evolve's asynchronous multiplayer where one player is a giant boss and 3 or 7 other players coordinate to fight it or escape from it!
Community made multiplayer obstacle courses/races:
Imagine custom map building where the objective of the 4 or 8 players is to get to the end of the map before the other players do!
There's so many possibilities for modes with this type of unique gameplay!
