Nintendo has outlined two huge updates coming to Splatoon 2 on November 23 and in December.

Both updates are significant, but the one dropping this week will be adding more “stuff”. Nintendo will be rolling out new stages over the next few weeks, including MakoMart, Shellendorf Institute, Walleye Warehouse, and Arowana Mall. Salmon Run is also getting a new Salmonid Smokeyard stage.

On the gear front, roughly 140 pieces will be added. These include shoes, headgear and clothes, returning items from the original Splatoon, and more. Also incoming are new hairstyles, new battle music, higher level caps, new amiibo functionality, and convenient gear swapping.

In December, Splatoon 2 is adding Clam Blitz. Players will compete to collect clams scattered around the stage. The clam follows the player after they pick one up, and you’ll need to throw the clam into the basket near the opponent’s base. The first team to score 100 points wins. However, you’ll need to break a barrier by first collecting 10 clams and earning a Power Clam.

We have a ton of additional details about both updates below, along with a trailer.

The fourth North American Splatfest in Splatoon 2 has come to an end. In the latest event, players were asked if they prefer sci-fi or fantasy.

Team Fantasy had the edge in both popularity and solo battles at 57% and 51% respectively. Team Sci-Fi won slightly more team battles at 51%, but that wasn’t enough.

The final score was 1 point for Team Sci-Fi and 2 points for Team Fantasy.

We’ve almost made it through another week, and our reward is a new weapon in Splatoon 2. The Foil Flingza Roller is identical to the regular Flingza Roller, except that it comes with the Suction Bomb sub-weapon and the Tenta Missiles special. It’ll be available tomorrow around noon in Japan and Australia, early in the morning in Europe and later tonight in North America.

Splatoon 2’s latest Japanese Splatfest is over. Also, Nintendo has published the results.

Players were asked if they prefer having having karaage with or without lemon. Despite close calls in all categories, those who sided “without lemon” were victorious. It was a 2-1 win thanks to one-point edges in solo and team battles.
