Splatoon 3 idols – Frye, Shiver, and Big Man

After the Squid Sisters Callie and Marie, then Off the Hook’s Pearl and Marina, we take a look at who the Splatoon 3 idols are and all the new tunes

Shiver from Splatoon 3, a woman-like humanoid with pointy ears, a blue outfit, and strange blue hair like playdough.

In the first game, we have Callie and Marie, a.k.a the Squid Sisters. In Splatoon 2, we have Pearl and Marina, a.k.a Off The Hook. But who are the Splatoon 3 idols? Well, they’re no longer a duo, they’re actually a trio, which in turn changes the way Splatfests work. You can find out more about it in our Splatoon 3 direct roundup.

Who are the Splatoon 3 idols?

The new Splatoon 3 idols are Frye, Shiver, and Big Man, who make up the band Deep Cut. The trio host the Anarchy Splatcast, which gives info on battle stages and other news bulletins. Luckily, these updates can now be in the background. Instead of interrupting your play, they just appear at the top of the screen as text boxes.

We also know that Callie and Marie from the previous two games are making a return as central characters in the story mode Return of the Mammalians. You can check out the new Deep Cut track at the end of the Splatoon 3 direct below.

In Splatoon 2, the idols are the duo of Pearl and Marina, known as Off The Hook. They took over presenting the news show, and create pop songs that feature in-game. They’re so popular that they’ve even done real-life concerts.
