Like the previous game, it features the standard Turf War mode for Regular Battles, in which two four-player teams have three minutes to cover the most turf with their color of ink. The sequel adds new standard, sub and special weapons, including dual-wield pistols called Dualies that allow the player to perform dodge rolls, and jetpacks known as Inkjets.
Inklings and Octolings can morph between humanoid form, during which they can fire ink with their weapons, and squid or octopus form, during which they can quickly swim through ink of their own color and replenish their ink supply. Like its predecessor, Splatoon 2 is a third-person shooter in which players control anthropomorphic squid or octopuses, known as Inklings and Octolings respectively, and use colored ink to cover land, attack opponents and clear goals. By December 2018, Splatoon 2 had sold over eight million copies worldwide, selling better than its predecessor and making it one of the best-selling Switch games.
It is a sequel to Splatoon, and includes a story-driven single-player mode, the Octo Expansion (a paid downloadable item that includes another single-player mode, special pieces of octopus-themed gear, and playable Octolings after completing the game), and an online multiplayer mode. Splatoon 2 is a third-person shootervideo game developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch, which released worldwide on July 21, 2017.
Splatoon 2 has just received a BIG major update to version 3.0! A new Rank X has been opened up for the best of the best player to achieve in ranked battles.
