Squad Battle

Squad Battle is an upcoming DLC mode in Splatoon, to be released on August 6th as part of the August Update. Squad Battle allows groups of 2-4 friends to participate together in Ranked Battle with other squads. A squad will always battle together on the same team.

Players can form squads of 2-4 friends. When forming a squad, the player has the option of creating a Quad Squad, a Tri Squad, or a Twin Squad. Squad Battles are always either 4v4, 4v3, or 3v3 battles. Twin Squads are teamed up with another Twin Squad for a 4-player squad. Tri Squads are treated as Quad Squads and may face 4-player squads.
