Nintendo has revealed the newest map for Splatoon 2. It's called Skipper Pavilion, and it is set in and around an old temple.
As you can see from the picture above, it looks like a mazy map indeed, with winding walkways and boxy spaces looking to provide plenty of cubby holes to coat with paint.
According to Nintendo's tweet announcing the new map, 'Some Inklings believe that visiting this mystical place can help win Turf Wars.' The announcement also reveals that the map is scheduled to arrive in October.
It isn't quite clear whether or not Skipper Pavilion will be the last map added to Splatoon 2. The word 'new' suggests that there may be more classic maps heading to the game – it already has eight of them from the first game.
In addition to the new map, Nintendo has also revealed a quirky new weapon: the Booyah Bomb. In its announcement, the description reads, 'Once activated, charge it up faster by signaling “Booyah!” Teammates can also get a small bonus to their special meter with "Booyah!" rally cries of their own! Unleash it once it's charged for a big inksplosion!'
We really liked Splatoon 2 when we reviewed it, in July 2017, saying, 'Despite imperfections, Splatoon 2 improves on the original, and is a colourful, joyous addition to the Switch.'
