Splatoon: the first major update will be released on August 6th, Urchin Underpass maintenance
During the Splatoon Direct, back in May, Nintendo announced that a major udpate for the game would be released sometime in August. It will add some new game modes (such as Rainmaker), but also new options for online (Tag Team Match and Private Match), new weapons and gear, and more.
And today, Nintendo posted a message on the official Twitter account for Splatoon, in order to announce that the first major update for the game would be released on August 6th:
But that’s not all: the Urchin Underpass map will not be available for online play (ranked or not) from August 3rd to August 5th. According to the Squid Research Lab, this is to make “improvements work” on the map, which is why players won’t be to battle on that map during this “maintenance” period. It looks like the new update will bring some major changes to that map!
We should be getting additional details about the update in the upcoming days.
