Katamari Life

We’ve received a special message from our International Squid Research Lab, who are wishing us a happy “White Day”. Apparently this gift-giving holiday involves the exchange of a diminutive train conductor? Curious!

The Squid Research Lab has been made aware that it is “Caturday”. To celebrate this curious ancient holiday, we’re sharing this furry photo of Judd and Li’l Judd. Which one is cuter? You be the judge.

While we here at the Squid Research Lab wouldn’t necessarily describe the sights, sounds (and smells) of the Deepsea Metro as “romantic”, Agent 3, Agent 8, and Cap’n Cuttlefish would nevertheless like to wish everyone a Happy Valentine’s Day!

Off the Hook and the Squid Sisters reunite for a 50+ minute live performance from Japan! Hear live versions of some of your favorite Splatoon 2 songs!

Happy New Year from the Splatoon team!

The Splatoon 2 team wishes a Merry Squidmas to all the good little Inklings and Octolings out there!

It’s almost time for all the icky Inklings, occult Octolings, unnerving urchins, frightening flounders, and gruesome groupers to come out and play! Happy Splatoween!

The Shellendorf Institute is currently closed for renovations. During this time, this stage cannot be used in Regular Battle, Ranked Battle and League Battle. This renovation is scheduled to end on or around Wed, July 30th PT. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.

It’s been a long road of exciting Splatfests, but they wouldn’t have been possible without your participation! Thanks to all the players, artists, and fans for supporting Splatoon 2! And remember, there’s still plenty of online battles and Salmon Run shifts to go around! 🦑🐙

Thank you to everyone who participated in this Splatfest and all the others, and thank you for supporting Splatoon 2! We hope you’ll continue battling online or running Salmon Run shifts with your friends and rivals!

The Final Splatfest begins today, and runs until 7/21 at 5am PT!

Marina: Team Order “I just want to protect the balance I’ve found in my life.” Vowing to defend the stable life she’s created for herself, this determined DJ holds these thoughts in her heart as the Final Splatfest arrives.

Telephone & C.Q. Cumber: Team Order “These failed prototypes, endlessly warring for turf…” If we assume that chaos already reigns and that order needs to be restored, who decides what “order” actually looks like? These two likely have their own opinions on that subject, and they probably don’t include the words “free” or “will.”

Agent 8: Team Order Even Octolings who’ve been freed by the Calamari Inkantation don’t lose their disciplined personalities. Agent 8 can’t sleep at night until every nearby weapon has been methodically cleaned and checked. In fact, I hear Sheldon might be looking to hire Eight to work at Ammo Knights.
