Splatoon 2

Japan is getting two pieces of Splatoon 2 merchandise in November that are sure to be extremely popular: the official soundtrack (Splatune 2) and an art book.

The soundtrack will feature all songs from the game in addition to various sound effects and jingles. It will also come with a jacket for each of the in-universe bands, a roundtable discussion with Wet Floor (one of those bands), an interview with Marina, comments from the developers as well as a Splatoon-themed guitar pick. The soundtrack will cost 3,200 Yen.

The art book obviously features a ton of art from the game, including character design concept art, fashion design sketches, logos and more. Here are some preview images:

A new weapon has made its first appearance in Splatoon 2. Specifically, the Grizzco Blaster has shown up in the newest rotation for Salmon Run.

We’re hearing that the Grizzco Blaster appears randomly in Salmon Run matches. It has the label “Rare Weapon”. While it has a massive fire rate, ink is consumed very quickly. Note that weapons can stack and switch between waves.

Here’s some footage:

When you check the Salmon Run schedule in Splatoon 2, the event for Friday / Saturday is a bit of a mystery. Nintendo isn’t saying what weapons will be supplied here. The official Japanese Splatoon Twitter account mentioned this as well.
