Plot

Story mode

Splatoon 2 takes place approximately two years after the final Splatfest event of the first game, in which the pop idol Marie proved victorious over her cousin and fellow Squid Sister, Callie. While the two girls seem to carry on as normal afterwards, the usually inseparable cousins begin to spend more and more time apart due to their growing solo careers, with Marie beginning to worry about whether Callie was negatively affected by the Splatfest result.

After going out of Inkopolis to see her parents, Marie returns home to discover that the Great Zapfish that powers the city has gone missing again, as has Callie. Fearing that the evil Octarians are once again involved, Marie takes up her role as Agent 2 of the New Squidbeak Splatoon again and recruits an Inkling from Inkopolis Square, the player character, to become Agent 4 and investigate.

With assistance from both Marie and weapons expert Sheldon, Agent 4 makes their way through Octo Canyon fighting off Octarians and recovering several stolen Zapfish. They eventually discover that Callie herself has sided with the Octarians after being brainwashed by their leader, DJ Octavio.

With everyone’s effort, however, Marie manages to break Callie free from her mind control, and together they help Agent 4 defeat Octavio once again. With the Great Zapfish safely returned to Inkopolis, the Squid Sisters happily reunite and resume their musical career together.

Octo Expansion

The events of the Octo Expansion story mode takes place at the same time as the base game’s story does. The Octo Expansion is the ‘vacation’ Agent 3 and Cap’n Cuttlefish are on, which is referenced within the base game’s single-player campaign. When Cap’n Cuttlefish and Agent 3 were in Octo Valley, Agent 3 battled against an Octoling that somehow led to both the Octoling and Cap’n Cuttlefish being captured and taken deep underground to an abandoned station in the Deepsea Metro, ran by the Kamabo Corporation. With the Octoling having lost their memory, they are nicknamed ‘Agent 8’ and team up with Cap’n Cuttlefish to ride the Deepsea Metro and escape the facility, along the way collecting mem cakes. Agent 8 and Cap’n Cuttlefish meet mysterious and shady characters such as the Telephone, C.Q. Cumber, Iso Padre and familiar faces such as Pearl, Marina and Agent 3.

Locations

The hub world of Splatoon 2 is Inkopolis Square, a section of Inkopolis separate from Inkopolis Plaza. A variety of maps and other locations have been showcased, including more rural areas similar to Octo Valley’s visual appearance. Inkopolis Square also has new statue monuments with a tortoise and an origami crane.

Gameplay

Splatoon 2 plays like Splatoon, but with many new weapons to utilize. To compensate for the Nintendo Switch’s lack of a dual-screen layout, the X button is now pressed to show the map menu, where a teammate to Super Jump to can be selected using the Directional Buttons. As a result, B is used to jump. Other than these, the controls are unchanged. The game can be played using all available controllers, though the standard will be to use the Joy-Con docked inside the Joy-Con Grip.

The Nintendo Switch opens up possibilities for portable and local-multiplayer play. There will be other modes than private matches for local multiplayer, but only Private Battle Spectator View and LAN Play have been revealed. Splatoon 2 can connect to the Nintendo Switch’s paid smart device app for additional multiplayer features, such as voice chat and scheduling matches.

In multiplayer, images of each player’s weapon are shown in the squid icons at the top of the screen. In addition to this, a players squid icon will flash metallically when their special weapon has charged.

The game supports local multiplayer, even when the Nintendo Switch Console is taken on the go.

More level elements from Splatoon’s Hero Mode are to appear in the games’ maps, such as Ink Railings being added to Moray Towers.

Turf War

Turf War is the main online mode of the game. The object is to cover more ground with ink than the opposing team in three minutes.

Ranked Battle

Ranked Battle describes several competitive online modes where the player’s rank is increased or decreased depending on wins and losses.

Octo Expansion

The Octo Expansion is a paid downloadable content for Splatoon 2, released on June 13, 2018. The package contains a new single player campaign consisting of 80 levels. The package includes new pieces of gear, including the Studio Headphones and Octo Layered LS which are unlocked immediately after purchase. The storyline follows Agent 8, an Octoling with amnesia who explores subway stations underground connected to various research facilities.

Salmon Run

Salmon Run is a new PvE online mode. In-universe, it is run by the company Grizzco Industries, which has set up a part-time workplace for Inklings. Teams of four Inklings are sent to a faraway island to battle waves of the native Salmonid and receive Power Eggs.

Inklings must wear special gear within this mode, including a lifesaver. If an Inkling is splatted, a teammate can revive them by inking the lifesaver they deploy.

Golden Eggs are a rare drop from Boss Salmonids. An Inkling can carry one at a time in a small sack, and must place Golden Eggs in a containment unit in the center of the map. Once enough Golden Eggs have been collected, the containment unit is shipped off back to Inkopolis. Rewards are proportional to the number of Golden Eggs the team collects.

History

Splatoon 2 was created as a direct sequel to Splatoon to meet the existing fans’ expectations. It was important for the development team that it appeals to not only the first game’s playerbase, but to the demographic that was interested in Splatoon despite not buying it. This makes it a proper sequel in the team’s eyes.

The intended appeal was worked toward by giving the game a new take on existing aspects and resetting old strategies, creating an entirely new meta that would still change based on updates. While performance was a factor in changes to weapons and gear, the developers focused more on how they would feel to use.

The dev team also set the game world two years later than in Splatoon to make returning players feel as if the series were growing with them.

Another point of focus was on utilizing the features of the Nintendo Switch, such as creating tactile experiences using HD Rumble, making sure Splatoon 2 always runs at 60 FPS and continued amiibo compatibility for the series.

The game was teased on October 20, 2016, in the First Look at Nintendo Switch trailer. It was properly announced in the Nintendo Switch livestream on January 13, 2017, confirming that it is a sequel and not an updated Splatoon port in the vein of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

Splatoon 2 is, as its predecessor, to receive frequent updates and in-game events such as regional Splatfests. Balancing is also expected for updates.

amiibo support

New Splatoon 2-compatible amiibo will be released, including several new designs for the Inkling Girl, Inkling Boy, and Inkling Squid.

The amiibo compatible with Splatoon 2.

The Splatoon 2 Inkling Girl and Inkling Boy amiibo can save customization data for weapon, hairstyle, and gear combinations and abilities, and can be used to set them even on another Nintendo Switch. However, they are limited to holding customization for only Inklings of the same gender. The function of the Splatoon 2 Inkling Squid amiibo is currently unknown.

Each amiibo enables the player to take selfies of their Inkling, and post them to social media via the Nintendo Switch album.

amiibo may also unlock exclusive items. The Inkling Girl may unlock Splatoon 2 logo earrings, a new schoolgirl uniform, and shoes. The Inkling Boy may unlock a ninja costume and a set of Splat Dualies. The Inkling Squid may unlock a metal power suit and a Dynamo Roller.

All Splatoon amiibo are forwards-compatible with Splatoon 2. The Splatoon Inkling Boy, Inkling Girl, and Inkling Squid will unlock exclusive weapons.

Issues:

  • Using assembly shaders causes multiple rendering issues with shading and Inkling bodies on NVIDIA Pascal and Maxwell GPUs (i.e. GeForce 9- and 10-series) .
  • Asynchronous shader compilation randomly causes terrain to become unnavigable as if covered by enemy ink . It also may cause certain objects/areas to not respond to user ink.
  • The game’s dynamic resolution hurts performance. Enable Fast GPU Time to mitigate it.
  • The Vulkan backend has additional rendering issues.
  • Asynchronous shader compilation can also cause more issues in the Vulkan backend.
  • Sounds that are supposed to have varying pitches may have a constant pitch (needs verification).
  • In the Octo Expansion DLC, there are slowdowns in some levels when many opponents are displayed.
  • Local wireless and online multiplayer does not work as the necessary services are not implemented in yuzu.
