Version 3.0.0 (Splatoon 2)
Please review our policy on rumors and leaks before adding leaked information.
Version 3.0.0 is an update to Splatoon 2 that is set to be released in late April. The update was first previewed during the Nintendo Direct on March 8, 2018.[1]
Octo Canyon
- After meeting certain conditions, players can talk to Callie in Octo Canyon.
Progression
Rank X will be added, replacing ranks S+10 through S+50. Players already ranked in S+10 through S+50 will be automatically placed in Rank X. Rank X discards the rank meter in favor of X Power, a rating similar to Splatfest Power. Matchmaking is done based on X Power, so players will be fighting others with similar X Power rather than just anyone else who shares the rank. Monthly ranking lists will be published on SplatNet 2, featuring the players with the highest X Power. There will be a list for each of the four ranked modes that contains the top 500 players for the mode. Another list will have the top player of each weapon. New lists will be made available on the final day of every month.[2]
At the time of the monthly ranking announcements on SplatNet, X Power will reset to "Calculating" status in-game. The calculation period, lasting 10 matches, determines if the player is eligible to remain in X Rank. It is also possible to drop out of X Rank outside of calculation periods, if the player's X Power drops low enough.
Music
The chiptune band Chirpy Chips has two new tracks.[3] The new tracks are Chip Damage[4] and Battery Full[5]. Chip Damage was featured in the trailer for version 3.0.0.
