Splatoon gets new multiplayer mode

Nintendo has announced the addition of Tower Control, a new game mode, to the multiplayer modes in Splatoon.

This mode was added to Ranked Battle, which also includes Splat Zones. The objective of Tower Control is to ride a single floating tower into the enemy’s base. Both teams rush toward the tower, which is initially placed in the center of the map, and the tower will start moving automatically once a player climbs aboard.

Just like in Ranked Battle and Turf War, players will be rewarded for working together as a team. Surrounding the tower and protecting the player riding the tower, using each stage’s features to gain an advantage, and supporting each other are the keys to victory.

The Splatoon game also features themed events called Splatfests that let players choose their allegiance in a popular argument and then compete against the opposing side in online battles. The first Splatfest for players across the Americas takes place all day on July 4 and asks players to choose which is better, dogs or cats. The winning team at the end of Splatfest will also receive bonus Super Sea Snails.

Splatoon launched exclusively for Wii U on May 29, 2015.
