As Nintendo fans are about to be completely swamped withSuper Smash Bros. Ultimatejive, it appears that other Switch games are getting in on the act. Arena shooterSplatoon 2has revealed that’s its next global splatfest will concern the mammoth roster of the latest entry in the chaotic crossover series.
The new splatfest pertains toSmash Ultimate’scast of good and bad dudes, gals, animals and… miscellaneous, asking whether you are “Team Heroes” or “Team Villains”. In a baffling turn of events, Pearl will be representing the good guys while her butter-wouldn’t-melt buddy Marina is in the corner of the wrong ‘uns. Very odd.
Either way the splatfest is set to take place on the weekend of December 14. As usual, it will be Friday evening in North America and on Saturday in Japan and Europe. It will be interesting to see who comes out on top in the eternal battle.
Splatoon 2is available now on Nintendo Switch.
