Classic venue revamped and reramped
A classic map from the original Splatoon will return to the arena-shooter’s sequel tomorrow, as Piranha Pit will be added to the game’s rotational roster of battle arenas.
Piranha Pit is a somewhat aesthetically dull looking map set in a quarry. It is famous for its selection of ramps and conveyor belts, allowing players to trundle against the grain or pick up a burst of speed, depending on which way the floor is currently moving. Although fairly grimy in tone, it rarely takes too long before the exterior is given a splash of colour.
Players have already noted from the released images that the map has been given a graphical overhaul, and also a redesign, particularly around it’s central battlefield. But we’ll find out how the classic venue holds up to modern day Splatoon action when Piranha Pit goes live, March 30, at 19:00 PT in North America. Europe and Japan, as always, will follow early the next day.
明後日3月31日午前11時、新しいステージ「ショッツル鉱山」が追加される。
湖に浮かんだ採石場で、あちこちに設置されているベルトコンベアを利用して攻防が繰り広げられる。
ステージの端では、恒例のバーベキューが行われているようだ。 pic.twitter.com/29OZ2oSviI— Splatoon（スプラトゥーン） (@SplatoonJP) March 29, 2018
