A prominent leaker has sensationally claimed that a new Splatoon game is in development, and that it's been codenamed "Spiral" internally at Nintendo.
Did Splatoon 4 development just leak…
The leak comes from Midori, a Nintendo leaker who has been releasing many alleged leaks over the past week, even claiming that a new Zelda game and a new installment in the Nintendo Sports series are in development.
We say supposedly on purpose, because all of this information is leaks and unconfirmed speculation. Midori has a good track record of divulging information. Still, no details have been revealed about what the Splatoon title might be beyond the codename, and we can’t take such information as fact until Nintendo officially reveals the project, whatever that may be.
If we had to hazard a guess, Splatoon 4, or whatever Nintendo would call it if the leak were real, would make perfect sense. Nintendo is gearing up to launch the Switch's successor sometime next year, and a launch-window Splatoon game would tick all the right boxes.
