While Splatoon 3 is a lot more fun to play with friends, its story mode is just as good. If you play on Nintendo Switch and your friends don’t, you can try this single player mode. This guide has all the information you need before you start this single player campaign and what missions or levels you can expect in your Splatoon 3 adventure.
How to start the story mode of Splatoon 3?
To start Splatoon 3’s story mode, players need to follow the Cuttlefish underground through a sewer cover – press ZL to enter. This will immediately take you to the cut-scene of the story mode.
What is the main plot?
In Splatoon 3’s story mode, Return of the Mammals, you play as Agent 3, who is part of the new Splatoon Squidbeak. Your mission is to bring back the Great Zapfish that will power Splatsville. The cuttlefish tells you it’s the Octarians again. Take advantage of this job offer and you can save the world. You’ll also get a brand new hero costume to help you fight your enemies. That’s all! Your journey in the single player campaign will begin.
