Splatoon 2 Special Demo 2020

The Splatoon 2 Special Demo 2020 was a free demo available on the Nintendo eShop, and the successor to the Splatoon 2 Special Demo. Similar to previous Splatoon 2 demos, it allowed players to engage in free four-on-four Turf War with other players who own the full game, with additions of Salmon Run and Ranked Battle, at scheduled times. Players who downloaded the demo received a seven-day free trial for Nintendo Switch Online.

The demo was released on 2020-04-22 and was playable between 2020-04-30 and 2020-05-06 at varying times depending on the region. In addition, the full game was available at a discounted price on Nintendo eShop during the duration of the Special Demo 2020.

Description
This demo is identical to the full game, barring access to single-player modes and The Shoal. Entering these modes prompts the player to purchase the full game from the Nintendo eShop.
