While the major content updates and balance adjustments for Splatoon 2 are done, the game is still getting some minor updates. In early October (October 10 in Japan, Australia and Europe and October 9 in North America), the game will be updated to version 5.0.1. This patch will fix two minor issues: a movement glitch with the Ultra Stamp will be resolved, and an exploit will be fixed that allows players to reach an area on Starfish Mainstage that’s supposed to inaccessible. Until version 5.0.1, Starfish Mainstage will only be available in Private Matches and will not appear in the regular multiplayer rotation, starting on September 20.
New content has been added to Dr. Mario World today. World 6 of Stage Mode has been expanded, adding a total of 20 new stages.
Additionally, the Collect Clear Stars event is now live. As the name implies, collecting Clear Stars gets you various rewards, including coins, Capsule Boosts and Staff Tickets. The event runs till September 26.
The previously announced The Chosen Ones Summoning Focus is now live in Fire Emblem Heroes. The new 5-star focus units are Nagi: Dragon Avatar, Sirius: Mysterious Knight, Phina: Roving Dancer and Norne: The Volunteer. Additionally, Bantu: Tiki’s Guardian has been added to the 3-star/4-star pool. The Summoning Focus will be available until October 9.
A new main story chapter featuring these units has also been added: Book III, Chapter 11: Where It Began, alongside some time-limited quests.
The new units are also the focus of a new Forging Bonds event. A Time To Shine will run until October 3. Among the rewards are First Summon Tickets for the The Chosen Ones Summoning Focus.
Finally, a new map has been added to Tactics Drills. “Young Lion & Radiant Hero” can be found in the Skill Studies section; clearing it gets you 300 feathers.
