Splatoon – Flounder Heights map now live
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 2 Comments
Splatoon’s latest map has now live. Players can begin battling in the newest addition to the map rotation, Flounder Heights.
Here’s the map overview from the Splatoon Tumblr:
Try as you might, you can’t ignore the apartment building in the middle of the map. It stands like a gigantic wall, looming over the battlefield like an ominous, erm, an ominous… apartment building, I guess.
Will you make your stand in a hail of ink on the rooftop? Will you try and sneak your way through the middle? Whatever your strategy, there’s no getting into enemy turf without getting past this monolith.
