Sales officially Off the Hook
Things might’ve gone a little quiet in the world ofSplatoon, but that’s no indication that the colourful shooter series has fallen out of fan favour. In fact, as noted inNintendo’s recent financial report, latest entrySplatoon 2has been an incredible success, having sold over 10 million copies since its launch back in 2017.
As one of the few competitive shooters on the platform,Splatoon 2won over a battalion of fans, of all ages, from all over the world. This is thanks in no small part to its simple-but-deceptively-deep gameplay; inviting and colourful atmosphere; and cast of delightful, engaging characters. More than just a team-based shooter,Splatoonhas truly built a welcoming and passionate community of players, as likely to be found relaxing in the hub-world of Inkopolis as they are waging messy war on the battlefield.
With a steady stream of new content – as well as the insanely popular“Splatfest”events –Splatoonhas gone from strength to strength since its 2015 Wii-U debut. There are not many Nintendo franchises that can boast ofcomics,music concerts, andclothing, butSplatoon‘s eclectic style and happy-go-lucky attitude have made the brand an international success. Here’s hoping we receive news of a sequel sooner rather than later.
