For Players who want colorful, fast team shooters built around movement and map control: Painting territory fuels your team’s score, while swimming through friendly ink links movement, attacks, and refills into one fluid loop. Tradeoff: Winning depends on adapting to a team objective and shared space, rather than focusing only on eliminations.

What you are walking into
Splatoon 2 is a multiplayer third-person shooter in which players control characters known as Inklings and use colored ink to attack opponents and clear goals. Inklings can alternate between humanoid form, during which they can fire ink with their weapons, and squid form, which allows them to swim through ink of their own color in order to move quickly and replenish ink supplies.
