Splatoon 3 is fast-approaching, and later this week there's a Splatfest World Premiere demo going live - where players can see what the game has to offer and get a little bit of practice in before the big release next month.

If you have been wondering just how much of the game will be on offer, Nintendo has now revealed on its social channels that it'll be making a whopping 26 weapons available to Inklings and Octolings when this demo goes live.

It name-dropped some new ones like the Splatana Wiper and the Tri-Stringer, but it didn't detail any others beyond this:
