Upcoming Version Update
New Weapons Will Be Released

During the rotation that happens once every three months, the announcement of new weapons will be added. It is said that additional content such as weapons will continue for the following couple of years since the release.
Rank Cap Increased & New Mode Added

The rank cap will be increased further and the X band will be released in future updates. In addition, the League Battle, which also existed in Splatoon 2, will be implemented as well.
Big Update (DLC?)

Big Run will be added to Salmon Run by update. Details are still unknown but it seems to be a different one from the normal Salmon Run.
