Large update coming to Splatoon

Free update on August 5th will deliver new modes and weapons

Posted on

Splatoon will receive a free update on August 5 that will include new matchmaking modes, new weapon types, and an increase to the game’s level cap.

The new update introduces Squad Battle and Private Battle matchmaking options. In Squad Battle, players can participate in Ranked Battle rule sets with friends, rather than a random selection. Friends will always play together on the same team and battle against other squads at random. In Private Battle, friends can splat it up in private, customizable matches. Two to eight friends can battle together by selecting their favorite map, mode and weapons.

With the update comes an increased level cap in both Regular Battle and Ranked Battle modes. Players will be able to reach level 50, up from the previous level 20.

Two new weapon types will be available. The bucket-like Slosher weapons hurl ink straight ahead at an impressive range. With the Gatling-style Splatling, players can charge blasts of all-powerful ink. More than 40 pieces of gear is also coming to the in-game shops.

More content for Splatoon will continually roll out through the rest of the summer and fall, including the Rainmaker Ranked Battle mode, additional maps and new weapons. Splatoon was released for Wii U on May 29th 2015.
