Even though it’s been less than a week since Splatoon launched around the world, Nintendo is already adding content to the game. The Port Mackerel map, N-Zap ’85 weapon, and Ranked Battle mode have all gone live. In order to participate in Ranked Battle, you’ll need to be at level 10 or higher.

Nintendo will be adding even more content to Splatoon over the next few months. In August, two new matchmaking options will be offered, along with a new battle mode and gear.

With the initial footage we’ve seen of Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, we have a pretty good idea about some of the new roster additions. Characters like Nabbit and Diddy Kong were shown, for example. The Nintendo Direct footage also gave a brief look at Zazz from Sonic Lost World (see the image above), along with Rouge the Bat and Jet the Hawk.

Thanks to Anthony for the tip.
