New weapons, maps, modes for Splatoon leaked

For those still mourning the unfortunate delay of the North American Splatfest, perhaps this news will be of comfort to you: a ton of content scheduled to make its way to Splatoon has been discovered. The content, which has remained “locked” on the game disc, includes 33 unreleased weapons, two new game modes and two new maps.

Since its release, Splatoon has been receiving regular updates, gifting new weapons and stages to players weekly. Developers released the latest update, which introduced players to the Bluefin Depot map, just two days ago. However, these DLC updates aren’t brand-new content; they have been included within Splatoon game files since release but have remained inaccessible to players. Earlier today, a curious data miner has managed to rip a number of files from the game disc, revealing what’s in store for gamers within the coming weeks.

Two new maps, dubbed “Camp” and “Skyscraper,” as well as a number of Ranked Battle mode selection images were discovered. Along with a mode selection image for Splat Zones, pictures for “Tower Control” and “Rainmaker” modes were also found.

While the specifics of “Tower Control” were revealed during May’s Splatoon Nintendo Direct, “Rainmaker” has remained a bit of a mystery. In-game text details the mode, in which opposing teams compete to control an item called the Rainmaker. After grabbing the Rainmaker, players then aim to carry it to the other team’s base.
