Scorch Gorge

Scorch Gorge is a multiplayer stage in Splatoon 3.

Layout
Scorch Gorge is a stage located in a deserted wasteland (presumably within the Splatlands). The center of the stage contains a climbable platform connected with grates to other platforms.

Description
The stage looks somewhat similar to the Rainmaker variant of Piranha Pit, with the general shape, color, and placement of certain platforms. There are two poles next to the center of the stage on top of elevated platforms, both with dome-like shapes on top of each platform and two other poles, both having a big fish skeleton on top of each one. The map seems to have a fair amount of elevation as well, with multiple towers that are constantly taken advantage of in the trailer, as seen by the users of the Hydra Splatling and Tri-Stringer. In-game mechanics, such as sponges and Inkrails, do not seem to be included in the stage.

Ranked Battle Terrain
In Ranked Battles, specifications for the terrain or placement of objects are different between the modes; these changes create new paths or new objects to take cover behind.

Splat Zones
The Splat Zone is located in the middle of the stage, taking up most of the middle of the stage. The stage is unchanged.

Tower Control
The central platform is lowered than its Turf War version. The Tower starts on the platform, goes forward before turning right to the opposing team's left side. It then goes forward then left, then forward again until it reaches the goal. The left side of each team is now accessible by ramp and the grated pathway is now removed. The ramp to the left side is replaced with a climbable wall.

Rainmaker
The central tower is similar to the Tower Control layout, but with grates leading to the enemy team's side. The Rainmaker starts on the central tower. The checkpoints are located on the right of the starting position and after the central grates on the opponent's raised area. The goal is located after the first drop from spawn. The layout is similar to the Tower Control layout, but with wall being instead a ramp, similar to the Splat Zones version.

Clam Blitz
The Clam baskets are located to the left of each team's raised block. The stage is similar to the Rainmaker layout. The only change is the area near the baskets being more flat instead of on a ramp and the center tower being its normal height.

Splatoon 3
Scorch Gorge was released with the launch of.
