During today’s Nintendo Direct, Nintendo has announced new content coming soon to Splatoon 2 later this year.
In April, Splatoon 2 is getting a major free update (Version 3.0) that contains 100+ new pieces of gear, more stages rolling out throughout spring (Piranha Pit, Camp Triggerfish, and Wahoo World) and a new rank (Rank X). Rank X is an extreme rank, even higher than S+.
Splatoon 2 will also have its first paid DLC, later this summer. Splatoon 2: Octo Expansion adds a hefty new single-player mode that lets players play as new character Agent 8, an Octoling with lost memories. The new single-player campaign features 80 missions, as well as new stories that shed new light on beloved characters.
Players that complete the Octo Expansion campaign will unlock the ability to play as Octolings in multiplayer battles. While Splatoon 2: Octo Expansion launches this summer, players can pre-purchase the DLC starting today in Nintendo eShop to immediately receive Octo-themed in-game gear to use in battle right away. (The full version of the game is required to use DLC.)
Check out the announcement trailer above. For all things, Splatoon 2 and Nintendo, stay tuned to NinMobileNews!
