Nintendo's new hit IP, Splatoon, Is receiving a MAJOR update. This update will bring new game modes, new gear, increase the level cap, and much more. Today, I will be covering this big update and what to expect from it.
Let's cover gameplay updates first. Here is what will be changing gameplay-wise:
- 2 New game modes will be added in this update, including "Squad Battle" and "Private Battle." In Squad Battles, you create a team of 2-4 friends and go against another team (counted as ranked.) In Private Battles you can go against friends in even or uneven teams. For example, you can 1v4 your friends because you're just that much better than them.
Next, weapons/gear:
- 2 New kind of weapons will be added in the next update: A bucket-like weapon, that when actiavted, splashes ink at a long range and a chargeable mahcine-gun like weapons that can do lots of damage when fully charged. Also, over 40 new pieces of gear will be available in-game such as a Sushi-Chef costume and a leather jacket.
Lastly, Player levels/ranks:
- Players will now be able to level up to level 50 (because getting to level 20 isn't hard enough), and players will be able to achieve 2 new ranks: S and S+, which are both above A+.
That is all for this update. A lot is being updated, but that is not all. More content will be added throughout Fall. Happy splatting!
