Splatoon 2

Splatoon 2 (スプラトゥーン2 Supuratūn2) is a third-person shooter developed and published by Nintendo, and the sequel to the Wii U game Splatoon. The game features battles between Inklings, using weaponized ink to cover territory and "splat" opponents. While it was teased on October 20, 2016 during the reveal trailer for Nintendo Switch game console, Nintendo did not officially confirm this or any other game showcased in the video as being in development at the time. The title was officially unveiled on January 13th, 2017 at the Nintendo Switch Presentation in Tokyo, Japan. The game is currently planned for a Summer 2017 release.

Story
The events of the story take place two years after the completion of original game's Hero Mode, but little beyond that is known at this time.

Gameplay
Splatoon is a third-person shooter game focused on online multiplayer battles, in which eight players are divided into two teams of four. Players have two main forms and may switch between the two at will: their humanoid form, in which they can use weapons to spread ink and splatter opponents, and their squid form, which they can use to swim through ink at great speed and up walls, recharge the player's ink tank faster (while in their own ink), and hide in their team's ink. Players can also utilize Sub Weapons, such as Splat Bombs, and Special Weapons, such as Inkzookas.

In the primary game mode, Turf War, players are awarded points based on the amount of land they cover in their team's ink—the team that covers the most territory within three minutes wins the match. There are also an additional three modes under the more competitive Ranked Battle category: Splat Zones, where teams try to control certain areas of a map for a set amount of time by covering them in ink; Tower Control, where teams fight to control a central Tower and lead to a goal in the opposing team's base; and Rainmaker, where teams fight to secure the titular weapon and get it to a goal in the opposing team's base.

Additions for the Sequel
Exact information is currently unknown, but Splatoon 2 features both new and revamped stages, weapons (such as a set of dual-wield pistols), special weapons (such as a storm cloud), and gear items (including pants/trousers), as well as additional character customization in the form of hairstyles. The game also allows for local multiplayer with up to eight people.
