Splatoon: new weapon to be added in a few hours (Hydra Splatling)

When Nintendo detailed the latest major Software update for Splatoon, during the Nintendo Direct in November, they revealed that it would have enough new content (maps and weapons) to last at least until January. In other words, weekly unlocks of new weapons and maps are going to continue for quite a while, so that players always have something fresh to play.

Splatoon 1Since the Ver. 2.0.0 update, new additions have been taking place only once a week (on Saturday morning / Friday evening, most of the time). But it looks like Nintendo has gone back to two content updates per week since last week, though we don’t quite know how long this will last… as long as possible, hopefully!

Today, the Squid Research Lab announced that a new weapon would be added in a few hours. Unlike the previous additions, this one is a brand new weapon, from the Splatling family to be more precise. It’s called the Hydra Splatling (which also has a Custom variant), and comes with Splat Bombs (Sub Weapon) and the Echolocator (Special Weapon)

Here’s some pictures for the Hydra Splatling weapon:

The Hydra Splatling weapon will be added tomorrow morning, at the usual time:

  • Europe: 3AM
  • UK: 2AM
  • North America (EDT): 10PM (Friday evening)
  • North America (DPT): 7PM (Friday evening)
  • Japan: 11AM

Finally, don’t forget the 8th Japanese Splatfest takes place this week-end!
