Hisashi Nogami confirms Splatoon 3 is not in development yet, no thoughts about what's next

This is my thought. The way it's worded, I feel like a non-multiplayer online shooter game set in the Splatoon universe is what's in the works.
There's no way an IP that's sold 3m Japan alone is just sitting around. Nogami doesn't have to be working on it full-time with Animal Crossing in the works, and it could be something led by younger staff.
I would prefer an RTS where you control an entire team instead of being one player in a team. That would fill a void in Nintendo's library.
Not sure a Warriors game would fit since most of the weapons are ranged based. Plus I can't imagine integrating the inking mechanics into a warriors game either.
A want a third person Splatoon adventure with a cool story to develop the lore of the franchise.
Good. Don't milk it.
Take your time with 3 and really knock it out of the park making it the huge sequel it can be with much greater tech.

Isn't Style Savvy a million unit seller? Like the last one probably didn't reach it but that was on the tail end of the 3DS.
I'm not bothered. I just think it's funny. Your avatar and splatoon 3 are forever linked in my brain.
You have never been one of the aggressive ones I'm mentioning. Which is why I answered.
And like Tito Ortiz crushing this pack of apple juice on my avatar, I will crush some people's feeling when next year, Splatoon 3 will be revealed at E3. And if they reveal something else, I'll still probably be happy.
Don't remind me... ;-;
...Although a Splatoon Battle Royale would be interesting to me...
Never said nobody would care, over all my posts I mentioned every time that people would stay (especially Japan - similar to Splatoon 1) but nobody can't deny that stopping supporting it won't have negative effects in the long run, just like any other GaaS game would have. In other word, Splatfests are turf wars pure so for people more like you,no? And new weapons,nerfs/bufs/modes for more dedicated player, right? To bad we won't get them anymore, the WHOLE fanbase loses this way.
Why in the world would they not split the team? Splatoon is a huge franchise now that deserves constant development, much like Zelda deserves. AC and Splatoon are for very different demographics too and the games are totally different genres.
So now we either have a long wait for S3 or a short dev cycle meaning most likely just a content release. Splatoon is the best shooter on pure gameplay but it's begging for a lot of modern features like a client/server account system, split screen multiplayer, coop campaign, etc. Imagine a 30 vs 30 BR mode. They needed to be developing this stuff for the last 2 years, not start in 2020.

They're likely working on something, spin off or New IP
This really should happen. It would help Splatoon as an IP reach a much broader audience (especially outside of Japan, IMO) and keep hype alive till the next installment.
Plus it just seems like such a good fit...
Whether Splatoon 3 releases on Switch might depend on when Nintendo decides to release their next gen platform. If it's sooner rather than later then SP3 will be postponed to the next gen.
I could imagine another DLC expansion would come along in the near future but otherwise I expect, as others have said, Smash and MKart levels of sequeling on the same platform.
That balance updates are continuing is good news. They cut off balance updates to splatoon 1 at a very inopportune meta. Eventually they will realize that they have no reason to fear the eliter and squiffer. The conservative buffing of chargers reveals that they have way too many reservations.
Don't kill my damage up bamboo. It's all I have now that damage up rapid blaster is stuck in Splatoon 1.
The 1st and 2nd game are so similar the average person could never tell the difference.
There need to be options for bigger levels, more classes, etc.
i see this as a 1 per console series, unless Nintendo decides to make the Switch last a long time, making it necessary to make a sequel on the same machine.
even then they might not want to make a sequel for now and just wait several years. they're making that with Mario Kart atm despite MK8 being 5 years old and MK itself being one of their top selling series..

The final splatfest will probably feed into the story of the next game anyway. Though kinda surprised it hasn't started yet.
I imagine there won't be a new Splatoon until the Switch's successor. It's rare for Nintendo to do sequels on the same hardware nowadays. They seem to reserve those for story driven games or when an idea has not been thoroughly examined (Galaxy 2).
Isn't the studio big enough to be working on two projects at once? So if Splatoon 3 isn't being developed alongside Animal Crossing, that means they might have something else up their sleeve.
Considering how fast and efficient Nintendo game development is this is find and does not concern me at all. I will look forward to playing Splatoon 3 in 2022
They don't have their own studio. They're a group within EPD. Anyways, someone said the Splatoon team and Animal Crossing team have very little crossover.
So, if the Splatoon team isn't making a new Splatoon game then yeah they could be making a new IP.
Speculation based on point that Nintendo stoped releasing DLCs or Splat Fest means that sequel is coming is wrong,
offcourse that Nintendo in some point will stop supporting any game with DLCs or things like Splat Fest, but that doesnt mean that sequell is coming.

Heres what i wrote on July 6th before Splatoon 3 was deconfirmed:
Ok, Let's try and find a middle ground.
I think we can all agree that the Final Splatfest is teasing something, much like it did for Splatoon 1.
I think we can all agree that they shouldn't/wouldn't cut support so early if there's no new Splatoon game till next gen. Splatoon's producer essentially reconfirmed that support is ending with the final Splatfest.
I think we can all agree that no new entry in a franchise for 6 years is unhealthy.
There seems to be a misconception on the Splatoon team, don't think there's a big overlap with that of the animal Crossing team. They share a producer but Aonuma, for example, works on a ton of games at once.
Ok, so something should come on Switch but there's reasons for and against something like Splatoon 3.
Some propose something as big as Splatoon 3 while others propose something as small as a rhythm game spin off. Let's compromise a bit.
A large scale spin off would compliment Splatoon 2 instead of replacing it, could keep the franchise fresh while experimenting with new ideas for Splatoon 3.
Nintendo doesn't have many shooters so they can use Splatoon for their take on different genres. FPS, looter, Destiny-like, battle Royal, etc
Really don't think Splatoon can go without a major title till the proposed switch 2 launch window Splatoon 3, and a Rhythm game isn't that.
Probably best saved for mobile as well.
They can even use this major spin off to build up the story for Splatoon 3
~~~~~
Not sure if anyone disagrees with anything presented here. Is no new Splatoon game for 6 years healthy? Would the Splatoon team, not working on 3, make a new IP instead of a spin off? Or just twiddle their thumbs for a few years then start on 3?
What kind of spin off should they try and tackle?
