Nintendo has revealed the patch notes for Splatoon 3<\/strong><\/em>\u2019s upcoming Ver. 2.0.0 which is scheduled to release on November 29. This update will add the ability for players to purposely reset their rank.
[Update 2022\/11\/30 17:03 JST] Fixed the release date of the Ver. 2.0.0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The patch notes state this new feature can only be used once per season by players who are rank B or higher. As for what your rank will reset to, it\u2019s explained that it will be determined automatically based on your abilities in battles up to that point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At a glance, it might not be immediately clear why someone would use this feature. However, it might make more sense if thought of as applying for bankruptcy. That\u2019s because in Splatoon 3<\/em>, some players have found themselves stuck as \u201crank debtors.\u201d

Unlike previous titles, a player\u2019s rank in the game\u2019s Anarchy Battle won\u2019t drop. For example, if you manage to reach S rank, your rank won\u2019t fall back down to A. So what happens if you keep losing? You get stuck with \u201cdebt.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To enter Anarchy Battles, players have to spend what are called Rank Points. After a set number of matches, players then receive Rank Points based on the results. If the amount of Rank Points you spend is more than what you receive, your total goes into the negatives. If you want to advance to the next rank, you first have to \u201cpay back\u201d the points you owe. This can only be done by steadily earning points to climb out of the negatives. That\u2019s why players who are down on Rank Points are referred to as being in debt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As mentioned above, there\u2019s no ranking down in Splatoon 3<\/em>, so it\u2019s easier than past titles to reach S rank if you play long enough. This has led to players who were in lower ranks in previous titles making their way to S rank in Splatoon 3<\/em>. However, the S ranks are also where the game\u2019s stronger players reside, so if you reach S rank and start losing games, your rank won\u2019t drop, but your Rank Points will go into the negatives. Some players are even more than 1,000 Rank Points in debt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
