It was widely assumed that the Switch would see an improved port of Splatoon near release with some new stages and weapons but fans of the series will be pleased to know that the Switch will in fact get a brand new instalment in the form of Splatoon 2! Scroll down for the trailer!

Traditional 4-on-4 turf battles return in this full sequel to the original breakout hit game, along with new stages, new fashions and new weapons such as the two-handed Splat Dualies. Players can compete on the TV or on the go. Whether they use the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller (sold separately) or Joy-Con, players can aim their ink using gyro controls.

Splatoon 2 supports both local and online multiplayer matches. The game will also support voice chat using the new Nintendo Switch smart device app (a free, limited version of the app will be available this summer), and will add new stages, fashions and weapons after launch, as the original game did.

Splatoon 2 is scheduled to launch this summer.
