As with Splatoon 2, Nintendo will soon offer a free trial period to play ARMS before it sees a worldwide release in June.
Firstly, you will have to download the free ARMS Global Testpunch demo on the Nintendo eShop, after which you will be able to play it on specific dates and times, for which we’ve broken down those for Europe and North America below.
ARMS will release exclusively for Nintendo Switch worldwide on June 16th.
