Ink-splatting action is back and fresher than ever
Get hyped for the sequel to the hit game about splatting ink and claiming turf, as the squid-like Inklings return in a colorful and chaotic 4 vs. 4 action shooter. For the first time, take Turf War battles on-the-go via local multiplayer in portable play styles. You can also compete in frenetic online matches like before. New Salmon Run stage
• A new Salmon Run stage, Salmonid Smokeyard, will be available immediately!
• On this stage, a wide gap on the beach divides two platforms, with fan lifts being the quickest way to traverse the two platforms. After many unsuccessful trial runs, our scientists have concluded that teamwork will be required to use the fan lifts effectively.New battle tunes
• Two new bands are making waves in Inkopolis! The punk-flavoured Bottom Feeders (pictured) and classically-trained avant-garde-style Ink Theory are contributing new tunes for you to enjoy while you’re out there claiming turf.
Swish new hairstyles
• A new wave of hairstyles are starting to become quite trendy among the Inklings. New ways to get snap-happy with amiibo • After downloading the software update, you and your amiibo (sold separately) can pose for in-game photos at pre-set locations in battle stages. You can even pose with your favourite weapons and slap a fun filter on your best snaps.
More convenient ways to swap gear
• Players who want to change gear between battles in Regular Battle, Ranked Battle and Splatfest Battle (Solo) won’t have to exit to the lobby anymore! After downloading the update, gear can be swapped out without leaving the match room, making it quicker to get back to splatting. For Regular Battle, this also means you can play the next battle with the same players.
The level cap has been raised
• Currently, Inklings can max out at level 50. After downloading the update, the new max level will be raised to 99. If you talk to Judd when you reach Level 99, you’ll have the option to reset and have your level display as Level ?1 so you can continue raising your level.Clam Blitz
• In Clam Blitz, competing Inklings are tasked with collecting clams scattered around the stage. After one is picked up, the clam weirdly follows you. Your objective is to throw the clam into the basket near your opponent’s base. The first team to score 100 points wins! • The baskets are protected by a barrier, which must be destroyed first. After collecting 10 clams, you’ll earn a Power Clam. These super-powered clams are the key to breaking the barrier, so strategy will definitely be involved in deciding which clams are used to destroy the barrier and which are used to earn points. Not to mention the extra-satisfying opportunity to steal your opponents’ clams by splatting them.
Features:
New weapons – New dual-wielding Splat Dualies join the action, complete with a new Dodge Roll move. Mainstays like the Splat Roller and Splat Charger have also been remixed to include new gameplay mechanics and brand-new special weapons.
Local and Online Multiplayer – In a first for the series, compete in local multiplayer Turf War battles, whether in TV mode or on-the-go in handheld or tabletop modes. Online battles also make a return.
