Splatoon

Nintendo’s competitive multiplayer shooter Splatoon has received a new update which adds two new maps along with other features. You can check out the new maps thanks to a new video below. Just be prepared for lots of dancing.

The two new maps are Piranha Pit and Ancho-V Games. Other changes introduced with the update include players of the same skill being ranked more often in Regular Battle and Splatfest; adjustments to a variety of stages to prevent players from taking shortcuts in the various modes; fixing issues with Rainmaker mode; and adjustments for an overall better gaming experience, which is always nice.

Though a specific release time for the patch hasn’t been provided, there will be maintenance taking place from 4:50 PM to 6 PM PST. Look for it to drop somewhere around then.

What are your thoughts on Splatoon at this point, especially with the free updates and content? Let us know in the comments below.
