Splatoon getting more free content in August

Splatoon players will soon get their hands on a whole heap of free content as part of August’s update.

The update will be released on August 5th, adding new matchmaking modes, new weapon types, an increase to the game’s level cap and more than 40 pieces of new gear.

August’s update will introduce two new matchmaking modes: Squad Battle and Private Battle. Squad Battle lets players participate in Ranked Battle rule sets with friends rather than being teamed up with randomers.
