Today’s Splatoon image provides a look at one of the weapons in the game. Check out the art piece above, and some information below.

We received a sketch from one of our researchers.
A giant weapon, created by the Octopus Army Corps, awaits you deep inside their underground base. It appears to use the Battery Catfish as its power source. In order to rescue the poor thing[s] from this fate, you have no choice but to take down the weapon while withstanding its powerful attacks.
