Trivia[]

  • In promotional materials for Splatoon 3 Shiver was referred to with gender-neutral pronouns, with certain languages (French, Italian, Spanish) not referring to Shiver with words that would require gendered endings. Only one message, a Tweet from Nintendo Portugal, used a feminine pronoun for Shiver, leading to speculation that the character may be non-binary. However, Senior VP of development and publishing Nate Bihldorff confirmed to The Verge that Shiver identifies as female and uses she/her pronouns in the game itself.[1]
