Lost Reavers has received a pretty big update. The game has been updated with a new level, weapons, events, costumes, and bug fixes. Today’s update is 1,340MB, so you may need to make some extra room for the extra content.
Thanks to Cameron and Dez for the tip.
Splatoon’s Squid Sisters have already seen two concerts in Japan. Nintendo’s now expanding their reach, as a new performance is set to be held at the Japan Expo in France on July 8.
