Last week’s Nintendo Direct event concluded with the announcement of Splatoon 3,<\/i><\/b> <\/i>the latest in the series of third-person shooter games starring ink-slinging “squid kids.” Fans were intrigued by the fact that the trailer seemed to take place in a ruined, potentially post-apocalyptic wasteland, rather than the sprawling metropolises of previous Splatoon <\/i>titles.<\/p>\n

In particular, viewers were drawn to one bizarre detail. The trailer primarily focuses on an Inkling riding a train through a desert-like area, which Nintendo recently revealed<\/a> to be named “the Splatlands.” In one of the piles of rubble, what seems to be a destroyed, upside-down Eiffel Tower can be glimpsed for a brief moment.<\/p>\n

Fans took to social media such as Reddit and Twitter to speculate about the possible fate of the country of France – or at least, the Splatoon <\/i>universe’s version of it. The phrase “Splatoon killed France” quickly became a hash tag on Twitter, with some even going so far as to joke that the trailer represented a deliberate anti-France political move on Nintendo’s part. However, this is very likely not the case.<\/p>\n
