Nintendo revealed details about another new Splatoon 3 stage, Shipshape Cargo Co. This new stage will be added to the stage rotation as part of the Drizzle Season 2023 update, which will be released on September 1, 2023.
Shipshape Cargo Co will be set on a gigantic Arctic cargo ship. The stage itself is situated between shipping containers as the ship sails through the frozen seas. The stage will feature a number of elevated areas accessible by ramps that run along the side of the stage. It’s the second stage set on a ship to be added to the Splatoon series, after the cruise ship stage Manta Maria. However, that ship was static in both Splatoon 2 and Splatoon 3.
Shipshape Cargo Co will be added to the Splatoon 3 Drizzle Season 2023 alongside another new stage, Crableg Capital, which takes place on top of a skyscraper.
And we're still receiving updates from the Retail Research team. It sounds like the number of new Drizzle Season decorations and stickers is over 300! We could list them all over a series of a hundred posts or so…or you could just go to Hotlantis to see them for yourself. pic.twitter.com/3T6aRPzcHy

In addition to the new stage details, Nintendo also revealed that Drizzle Season 2023 will add a huge number of additional customisation items.

Some of these have been confirmed to be part of the new season Catalog, while other items will be unlocked via the Shell-Out Machine in the lobby.
Splatoon 3 is out now for Nintendo Switch. Drizzle Season 2023 arrives with new stages on September 1, 2023.
