Splatoon update 2.5.0 tweaks maps, battles and more

Last week Nintendo released the final free content drop for Splatoon, the Custom Hydra Splatling weapon. From here on out, Nintendo will be focusing on bringing balance and Splatfest events to the game. Apparently, with 14 stages and over 70 weapons, the game has more than enough content to keep players happy.

According to Nintendo, Splatoon's next update will release today at around the following times:

• 4:50 PM PT – 6:30 PM PT

• 7:50 PM ET – 9:30 PM ET

• 12:50 AM in the UK – 2:30 AM in the UK

• 1:50 AM in Europe – 3:30 AM in Europe

Here's a detailed look at what the update will tweak in the game:

Version 2.5.0

Stage Adjustments:

• Walleye Warehouse: Adjustments will be made to object placement in Rainmaker Mode.
• Arowana Mall: Adjustments will be made to prevent users from taking certain shortcuts in all modes.
• Piranha Pit: Adjustments will be made to prevent users from taking certain shortcuts in Tower Control Mode.

Battle Adjustments

• Museum D’Alfonsino: Fix the issue in modes other than Tower Control in which the area around the central rotating platform was registering as being inked in unintended ways.
• Mahi-Mahi Resort: Fix the issue In Rainmaker Mode in which breaking the Rainmaker barrier while in the central area caused the special gauge to fill more than intended.

Other

• Adjustments have been made to make for a more pleasant gaming experience.
