There were quite a few speculative articles when Nintendo revealed Deep Cut which consists of Shiver, Frye and Big Man in Splatoon 3, that Shiver was non-binary. The news spread because some fans noticed that the Kyoto-based company didn’t mention the she/her pronouns during her reveal, however we have since found out that they are used in the actual game. The Verge wanted to get to the bottom of the speculation and find out whether or not Shiver is actually non-binary. The site got an official response from Nate Bihldorff, Nintendo’s SVP of development and publishing, who confirmed to The Verge that Shiver identifies as female. Splatoon 3 launches on 9th September and you can expect our review soonish.
