The Octo Expansion feels like a far off dream right now, but we won’t be completely in the dark while knowing the Squid Research Lab is hard at work. A new tweet has shared a look at how Octolings move when they transform their cephalopodic selves.
【オクト】これがタコの若者がタコに変身した姿だ。
いや、ヒトの姿が変身後で、こっちが本性……とか、細かい話は面倒なので置いておこう。
見た目は違うが、インクの中を素早く泳いだり、スーパージャンプをしたりと、できることや性能はイカとまったく同じだ。 pic.twitter.com/4RkrLFBcds— Splatoon（スプラトゥーン） (@SplatoonJP) March 19, 2018
When placed next to Inklings, the way they move their tentacles seems more fleshed out. With how in tune to marine biology these games have been it’s cool to see some of that in practice. Thankfully, as it’s been stated before, there won’t be any difference in terms of performances between Inklings and Octolings for the sake of online balance.
You can look forward to making your choice between the two once the Octo Expansion drops this summer for $19.99, available for pre-purchase (with extra gear as an incentive) now.
