Update: That didn’t take long! Nintendo has now confirmed that the weapons are due out tomorrow in North America, and Saturday in Europe.

They’ll be going live at the following times:

– 7 PM PT

Around 15 minutes ago, Nintendo of America sent out a tweet about new weapons coming to Splatoon tonight. But strangely, it was deleted soon after.

We did manage to capture an image of the tweet – you can see it above. You’ll also find screenshots of the new weapons below.

I’d imagine we’ll be seeing these new weapons either today or tomorrow. When Nintendo republishes the news, we’ll update this post.

Splatoon is a huge hit, especially in Japan, and its unique musical style is definitely a big part of that. It’s not a big surprise then that the soundtrack, titled “Splatune”, will soon be available to buy in Japan. It will be released by famous publisher Kadokawa on October 21st for 3,456 yen.

Its two discs will include 61 songs – 37 music tracks, 10 jingle tracks and 14 sound effect tracks. It will also come with a booklet featuring comments from the development staff and additional reversible covers. Check those out in the gallery below.

Splatoon’s latest map has now live. Players can begin battling in the newest addition to the map rotation, Flounder Heights.

Here’s the map overview from the Splatoon Tumblr:

Try as you might, you can’t ignore the apartment building in the middle of the map. It stands like a gigantic wall, looming over the battlefield like an ominous, erm, an ominous… apartment building, I guess.

Will you make your stand in a hail of ink on the rooftop? Will you try and sneak your way through the middle? Whatever your strategy, there’s no getting into enemy turf without getting past this monolith.
