Just like in the first game, you will have the ability to reroll abilities on a piece of gear in Splatoon 2. This task is once again performed by a sea urchin – not Spyke though. Instead, a new character called “Spiky” (this is his Japanese name, could likely be changed in the English), who is said to be an admirer of Spyke, will do this for you. In the example image, rerolling all three abilities on a pair of shoes is shown to cost 20,000 gold. It will also be possible to use Super Sea Snails to pay for this service, though we don’t know yet how they can be obtained in Splatoon 2.

When you reroll abilities, you will also get “Ability Fragments”, which can be used to add abilities to a piece of gear, if you collect enough of them.

Just like the first game, Splatoon 2 features gear. There are three categories: headgear, clothes, and shoes. The Splatoon 2 Twitter account teases new gear keeping in line with the fashion trends taking place in Inkopolis Square.

Every piece of gear has an ability. With abilities, it’s possible for the same kind of gear to be unique. With the two years that have gone by since the first Splatoon, it sounds like some abilities are new or have changed.

At least currently, we can expect Splatoon 2 to run at 1280×720 while in docked mode, and at a dynamic resolution while playing in handheld mode. It also has a rock-solid 60 frames per second.

Here’s the full analysis:
