Splatoon 2 released

Multiplayer shooter sequel is available today

Posted on

Nintendo has announced that Splatoon 2 has launched today.

Like its predecessor, Splatoon 2 is a multiplayer third-person shooter in which players control characters known as Inklings and use colored ink to attack opponents and clear goals. Inklings can alternate between humanoid form, during which they can fire ink with their weapons, and squid form, which allows them to swim through ink of their own color in order to move quickly and replenish ink supplies. The sequel adds new standard, sub and special weapons to the game, including dual-wield pistols, that allow the player to perform dodge rolls, and jetpacks.

The first Splatfest competition after launch will occur the first weekend in August and asks your condiment of choice: mayonnaise or ketchup? New Splatfest competitions, as well as free updates to the game like new stages, weapons and gear, are said to be coming to Splatoon 2 on a regular basis.

In addition, three new Splatoon series amiibo figures are also launching today. They are new models for the Inkling Girl, Inkling Boy and Inkling Squid. By tapping any Splatoon series amiibo figure you can save control settings, gear and weapon loadouts, as well as any clever nicknames. You can have a different set saved to each amiibo for quick access.

Splatoon 2 is now available in stores and in Nintendo eShop, exclusively for Nintendo Switch.
