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.

Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp was originally slated to be released tomorrow, November 22nd. However, it seems like Nintendo has decided to release the game a day early. It should now available both on the Google Play Store and the iOS App Store in most countries. Check your respective store on your mobile device to see if you can download the app.

However, you can’t actually play the game right now. It seems like either the servers are down for maintenance at the moment or are buckling under the heavy load of everyone trying to access them at the same time, as you can’t currently get past the title screen without getting a communication error.

We will keep you updated once the game can actually be played.
