Template:InfoboxGame The Splatoon 2 Global Testfire was a free Splatoon 2 demo available on the Nintendo eShop and was the successor to the Splatoon Global Testfire. It allowed players to engage in free four-versus-four Turf War at scheduled times ahead of the release of the game. It was available for download as early as 14 March 2017 but server connection was not possible before the event.

A later Splatoon 2 demo, the Splatoon 2 Splatfest World Premiere, was released in July 2017.

Description

Trivia

  • Players were able to start logging on to the Global Testfire as early as five minutes before the scheduled time. Some players were also able to get into matches a few minutes after the designated end time.
  • This demo was localized into Russian and Dutch, a first in the series. This was also the only Splatoon application to have all localizations packaged into one download, without the need to download other versions from other regions.
  • Unlike the Splatoon Global Testfire, which in all four weapons had the matching combinations as in the final release, only two weapons had matching combinations: the Splat Charger and the Splat Dualies.
