Tower Control

Tower Control is a form of Ranked Battle that is coming to Splatoon post-launch.

Description
In Tower Control, two teams of four Inklings fight to control a central Tower. The Tower is a tall, blue structure with a grate platform for players to stand on. When a player reaches the top of the Tower and sprays it with ink, it will begin moving on a rail toward enemy territory. If the player standing on the Tower turns into a squid (thereby falling through the grate), falls off the platform, or gets killed, the Tower will begin moving rapidly back to the center. Because of this gameplay element, the player on the Tower is a constant target and must be guarded by teammates on the ground.

 * Tower Control was unveiled during the May 7, 2015 Splatoon-themed Nintendo Direct.
