Splatoon 3
The Gold Dynamo Roller has yet to return in Splatoon 3 with its appearance on multiple promotional images confirming a future comeback. It features a slightly updated design. Its kit is currently unknown, but promotional renders consistently show that its sub weapon consumes 70% of its ink tank, hinting that it may have Curling Bomb, Splat Bomb, or Suction Bomb. This can't be confirmed, however.
