A new stage, Kelp Dome, will be added to Splatoon today at 7 PM PT! Viewed from above, this stage takes the shape of a nearly perfect square. You can either make your way to the center by circling around the perimeter of the dome, or you can take the high road on the grated catwalks to get straight into the action. The boundaries of the dome and the inner, maze-like structure of the facility are covered in ink-resistant glass.

#Splatoon #SquidLab #Nintendo #WiiU #Kelp DomeClassic main weapons appear viable in the Splatlands, although their appearance seems evolved to suit this unique culture. The .96 Gal and Range Blaster look markedly different than we’re used to, which will seemingly make them stand out more from other weapons of the same type.
In the video transmission, we also spotted some special weapons! In addition to a brand-new one, some seem like reconfigured versions of special weapons found in Inkopolis. How perfectly fitting for the city of chaos…
We’ve also discovered a new weapon with a shape
like a bow. It looks a bit primitive at first glance, but on closer inspection,
it’s packed with technology, including a mechanism capable of launching three
strings of ink simultaneously!
We’ve identified two new ways that Inklings can move. A “squid roll” allows them to leap and twirl out of their ink, and a “squid surge” allows them to quickly swim up ink-covered walls and jump out at the top! Just think how these abilities could be used in the heat of battle…
In the Splatlands, Inklings seem to favor entering the battlefield by launching themselves out of some sort of midair spawner drone. It appears they can even choose their landing spot before flying into action!
Even in the Splatlands, Inklings seem devoted to the popular pastime of Turf War. The basic rules appear unchanged—two teams of four compete to ink the most ground. However, the denizens of Splatsville appear to have taken their battles into the surrounding wilds of nature!
We’ve learned that Splatsville is located in a
broader region called the Splatlands. It seems the intense sun and harsh
environment have had a profound effect on its inhabitants. In recent years,
trendsetting Inklings have been drawn to this culture like moths to a Bunsen
burner!
In the new video transmission, an Inkling is seen
accompanied by a juvenile Salmonid called a Smallfry. Our studies have long
shown the Salmonids to be a dangerous species. How this seemingly symbiotic
relationship evolved is a thrilling mystery. Further research is required!
Here we see Splatsville, the newly discovered “city
of chaos.” It has a dated feel yet seems densely populated. Research indicates
that Splatsville’s development has accelerated rapidly since the Final
Splatfest a year and a half ago, even though it’s located far from Inkopolis.
It’s no secret that Inklings and Octolings can
arrange their head tentacles in various “hairstyles.” However, it seems these
wonderful creatures are capable of more intricate designs than previously
known. Just look at this Inkling… It has a braid! What a day for science.
