While the Octo Expansion is the new freshness, Splatoon 2’s next big update was also shown off last Direct. It’s just about time for it to surface and make a splash for all you multiplayer loving squidkids out there who can’t stop swimming up the ranks. Best of all, you’ll only have to wait a few more hours as if this (official) Tweet is to be believed it’s launching soon!
[おしらせ]
明日、4月25日(水)午前10時より、更新データVer.3.0.0を配信致します。

The biggest addition here is arguably Rank X, the new highest rank attainable. Those of you proud of your place at the top will have to climb a little higher now! It’s not just for your hardcore crowd though, as the game’s adding in about a hundred new pieces of gear to pick up from the shops. Become the trend setter you never knew you could be with the latest Inkling fashions.
All of this will come alongside various tweaks and balance changes with respect to weapons and other facets of the game. Not to mention it’ll give best girl Callie a little more time in the spotlight if you see her around Octo Canyon, and add in some new music as well. And while it’s not tied to the 3.0 specifically, we are getting a new (returning) map around the same time in the form of Camp Triggerfish!
明日4月25日午前11時、新しいステージ「モンガラキャンプ場」が追加される。
郊外の人気アウトドアレジャー施設の、池に張り巡らされた桟橋の上でバトルが行われる。
残り時間で水門が動き、地形が変化する特徴は2年前と同じだが、インクレールやスポンジでアクセスできるルートが増えているぞ。 pic.twitter.com/zpMFU0GyCy— Splatoon（スプラトゥーン） (@SplatoonJP) April 24, 2018
That should just about do it for Version 3.0, but be on the lookout for official English notes and the exact release time as well. We’ll be sure to let you know so you can keep making your mark all over Inkopolis.
