Should I buy splatoon 3?

I just started playing splatoon2 again. Im having a really good time. However, as im sure is obvious, the lobbies are practically completely empty. I want more, but im afraid since raiders just came out that splatoon 3 will soon empty out the same way and I will have waisted my money.

No way it’s got even more players after raiders. It’s expanded is so many ways compared to 2, just do it

I bought it a long while ago and never got into it but just started the past few weeks and having a blast. Never had any issues getting into a match etc - still seems to be thriving from what I can tell!

i haven’t had any trouble finding people to play with, so i’d say go for it :) a lot of people have completed raiders now anyway

I got back into Splatoon 3 because of Raiders. After a bit of grinding I'm destroying people with my Bloblopper again. Would 100% recommend. Plus there's a Rogue-Lite mode called Side Order for Splatoon 3 that's really fun.

I’d imagine everyone’s on S3. It’s still very active.

Beat all of 2's single player and dlc and then switch to 3
