Fans of the color spectacle Splatoon can look forward to the fact that Nintendo released the download of the client for Splatoon 2 today. So if you want to take part in the Global Testfire, you can start downloading now. The Global Testfire Beta is a demo preview of the game and will take place on March 24th - 26th.

Splatoon 2, like its predecessor, is an action shooter, but neither of them take the genre very seriously and the players “shoot” with color cannons.

In 4 versus 4 battles you compete against each other, and each team tries to paint as much of the level as possible in their own color. The more area you paste, the better weapons, or in this case ink cannons and brushes, you unlock. If you spray the walls full of ink, you can even dip into them and use them as abbreviations. Therefore you should always pay attention to your own territory with all offensive and the desire to encircle the opposing team. Otherwise it can happen that your own base suddenly lights up in the colors of the opponent and you have lost the round. So, despite the cuteness, there are plenty of tactics to consider.

Splatoon 2 - New Features

For Splatoon 2, the developer Nintendo has announced new levels, weapons and game modes. The possibilities of the new Nintendo Switch console are also used. There will be a local multiplayer mode and a voice chat with the appropriate app. In addition, the switch console's controllers allow motion control to distribute the ink even more precisely. Also in the Splatoon universe 2 years have passed since the first part and accordingly the playable characters have developed and new ones are added.

Just like Splatoon 1 on the Wii U, Splatoon 2 will have free updates with additional content.

Unfortunately, Nintendo does not have an exact release date yet, it just becomes Summer 2017 targeted. Splatoon 2 will be released for the new Switch console.
