In an interview earlier this year Nintendo stated that distribution of free content for Splatoon would be ending in January 2016. Just now, Nintendo announced that a new map named Piranha Pit will be added to the game starting Tuesday in Japan and around the world. The release time of the new map is as follows:

• Europe: 3AM
• UK: 2AM
• North America (ET): 9PM (today)
• North America (PT): 6PM (today)
• Japan: 11AM

Hopefully we see a few more updates and a bit more content added to the game before Nintendo officially stops work on the title next month.
