Splatoon: new map coming in a few hours (Hammerhead Bridge)

When Nintendo detailed the first major Software update for Splatoon, in July, they made it pretty clear that new content (maps and weapons) for Splatoon would still be added to the game on a regular basis. The point is obviously to keep players interested, so that they keep on playing without getting bored with the same weapons and maps.

Since the Ver. 2.0.0 update, new additions have been happening only once a week (on Saturday morning / Friday evening, most of the time), as opposed to twice a week before the update. But this week will be a bit different, and the new content will be unlocked on Friday morning (Thursday evening for North America), most likely due to the European and North American Splatfests taking place this week-end.

This week, we’re getting a brand new stage called “Hammerhead Bridge”. It’s a rather long stage, with two levels: the bridge level, and various platforms connected by wired bridges above. Enemies can shoot you down from below (or you can shoot at them from above), so you will need to be careful when standing on those. You will need to avoid transforming into a squid too, unless you want to take a shortcut!

Here’s some pictures for the Hammerhead Bridge:
