| '''''Splatoon 2''''' (スプラトゥーン2 ''Supuratūn 2'') is a third-person shooter developed and published by [[Nintendo]] for the [[Nintendo Switch]] console, and the sequel to the [[Wii U]] game ''[[Splatoon]]''. The game builds further on the ink-based shooting mechanics introduced in Splatoon, with the general gameplay being indentical, but adds new content including new [[Weapons]], [[Stages]], and a new horde mode named [[Salmon Run]].
| |
| | |
| The game was first teased on October 20, 2016 during the reveal trailer for the Nintendo Switch, and released worldwide on July 21, 2017.<ref>[http://www.nintendo.com/nintendo-direct/04-12-2017/#/video-1ndirect Nintendo Direct]</ref>

| ==Development==
| |
| Although teased with the reveal of the Switch console, Nintendo did not officially confirm this or any other game showcased in the video as being in development at the time.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5uik5fgIaI {{YT}} First Look at Nintendo Switch]</ref><ref>[http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016-10-24-behind-the-scenes-of-nintendos-switch-reveal-video Nintendo fans pick apart Switch reveal video]</ref> The title was officially unveiled on January 13th, 2017 at the Nintendo Switch Presentation in Tokyo, Japan<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qN4w5D2tzME {{YT}} Splatoon 2 - Nintendo Switch Presentation 2017 Trailer]</ref> and [[Splatoon 2 Switch event Demo|demos]] were playable at Switch hands on events.

| |
| | |
| ==Story==
| |
| The events of the [[Octo Canyon (mode)|story mode]] take place two years after the completion of the first game's [[Octo Valley (mode)|Octo Valley]] mode, while Cap'n Cuttlefish is on vacation with [[Agent 3]]. Callie and the [[Great Zapfish]] have disappeared and Marie recruits the player, designated [[Agent 4]], to storm [[Octo Canyon]] in order to search for them. The [[Squid Sisters Stories]] mention the snow globe DJ Octavio was imprisoned in is shattered and Cap'n Cuttlefish's shack is smashed. This mode is set in [[Octo Canyon]], a place similar to [[Octo Valley]] from the first game.
| |
| | |
| ==Gameplay==
| |
| Like its predecessor, ''Splatoon 2'' 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 Weapon]]s, such as [[Splat Bomb]]s, and [[Special Weapon]]s, such as [[Splashdown]]s.
| |
| | |
| In the primary game mode, [[Turf War]], players are awarded points based on the amount of [[Surfaces|turf]] (ground) they cover in their team's ink— the team that covers the most territory within three minutes wins the match.

| ==Changes and additions==
| |
| ''Splatoon 2'' features both new and revamped [[stages]], [[weapon]]s (such as the [[Splat Dualies]]), [[special weapon]]s (such as the [[Splashdown]] and [[Inkjet]]), and [[gear]] items, as well as additional character customization in the form of hairstyles and [[shorts|pants]]. The game also allows for local multiplayer with up to eight people. Certain elements of the Heads-Up Display have also been revamped, showing the weapons each player has and whether their Special Weapons are ready to be used.
| |
| | |
| [[Judd]] is accompanied by a new cat with a smaller, younger and near-identical appearance to Judd's, named [[Li'l Judd]]. | |
| | |
| After update version {{Ver|S2|2.0.0}} the max level will be 99 (instead of 50 in the original game). After the player talks to [[Judd]] after reaching level 99 the player will have the option to restart at level ★1 and continue leveling up.
| |
| | |
| In addition to the new level cap after the update. Players will be able to change their gear without having to leave the match room.
| |
| | |
| ===Mode changes===
| |
| All ranked modes from the original ''[[Splatoon]]'' returned in ''Splatoon 2''. All three have been changed in at least one way. The [[Rainmaker]] shoots large blaster-like exploding shots instead of a large ink tornado. [[Splat Zones]] has a new HUD UI that shows how much of the zone is captured. [[Tower Control]] now has checkpoints where the tower stops for approximately 5 seconds.
| |
| | |
| [[Salmon Run]] is a new co-op mode, in which players collect [[Power Eggs]] and Golden Eggs by defeating [[Salmonid]]s in order to complete missions. | |
| | |
| [[League Battle]] is a new online mode replacing [[Squad Battle]], in which teams of two or four battle other teams to gain points in a two hour period. | |
| | |
| [[Private Battle]]s are now available for Local Multiplayer, and a new feature called LAN Play allows docked Switches to play Private Battles on a LAN without an Internet connection.<ref>[http://splatoonus.tumblr.com/post/157089940714/previously-weve-reported-that-splatoon-2-will {{SRL}} Live from Squid Research Lab: Local Multiplayer and LAN Play]</ref> A spectating mode called [[Spectator View]] has been added for Private Battles only. | |
| | |
| ===New ranked mode===
| |
| On December 13, 2017 in the {{Ver|S2|2.1.0}} patch, the first brand-new mode for ''Splatoon 2'' was introduced. The mode [[Clam Blitz]] was added to the Ranked Battle stage schedule, alongside Splat Zones, Rainmaker, and Tower Control.
| |
| | |
| The objective of Clam Blitz is to pick up clams, which are scattered around the stage, and deposit them into the goal near the opposing team's base. The team who scores 100 points by depositing clams, or has the most points scored when the timer runs out, wins the match.
