Splatoon 2 might be getting a new update soon. On Twitter, Nintendo made a post about the patch, but deleted it shortly thereafter. It’s likely that the message was posted earlier than it should have been.
We know that the major updates for Splatoon 2 are over, though Nintendo has still carried out weapon adjustments. The social media post did state that the latest patch includes “minor adjustments to a variety of weapons.”
We’ll keep you posted on any new Splatoon 2 updates in the future.
The next Overwatch hero is just a few days away from joining the shooter. Echo will arrive on April 14, Blizzard has announced.

Echo is the 32nd hero in Overwatch. Sigma was the last new character in the game, who was added in July 2019.
