I finished it during the first weekend the game came out, but I'll make it my mission to reach 1000% before the expansion pack is released in 4 months.

I'm seriously blown away at the support this game is getting. After 2.0, I thought that this was it. All that was left for Splatoon 2 was new maps and weapons.

They also said that this was the first paid expansion. They're gonna be supporting this baby for quite some time, huh? I guess it's safe to say the content schedule expanded beyond a year for this game.

I think you'll find the inference was "this is the first time Splatoon has had paid DLC", rather than "the first of many".

I can't avoid filling a game with awful memes, even if I want to. It's in my bones...!
It's really hard to know what to say/post. This reveal, this expansion, is literally every nerd-rear end dream I had about playable octolings coming true. I am happier than can be expressed in internet posts, and it's stupid as hell and I don't care because it's literally everything I ever wanted w/r/t Splatoon.

This is 100% going to get me back into Splat2 in a big way and I am going to die waiting for "Summer 2018". Please god let that be June.

I should make sure to dust myself off in the meantime and get ready for octos.

I kind of feel sorry for everyone involved with ARMS, the developers, fans, etc. They tried so hard to replicate Splatoon's success, but it turns out you can't put lightning in a bottle twice.

Also, Off The Hook amiibos are releasing on the 13th of July in Japan at least. I wouldn't be surprised if they coincide with the expansion pack release date.

They've already referred to it as just Rank X in the direct, being that it is an Xtreme rank you see.

Yeah, that's her. That's the exact outfit used for the player character in the single player campaign. And she was mentioned to be on a trip with Cuttlefish in the sunken scrolls.

Also, :supaburn:. Those mad men. They finally did it. Playable Octolings and Inklings in Smash!

I believe they said they had two years of support planned.

It’s not like Arms bombed. It did pretty well for a new IP.

Splatfest tomorrow is going to be really hype. Anyone on Team Egg down to group up?

I think if ARMS gets the chance for a sequel, refines its mechanics, provides more content, it could be pretty nice.

They had two years of support planned - splatfests, bugfixing outside of critical issues, et cetera. The plan was for a year of content updates and two years of support, mirroring the six months of content and year of support Splat1 got.

As Octo is going to be landing very close to Splat2's anniversary, it feels safe to say that the content plan has been expanded out well beyond the original year.

I'm bad at Splatoon but I enjoy splatting and am excited for more single-player, rad new music presumably and playing as a cool octoling!

:agreed: That game always seemed pretty fun but I heard it didn't have much in the way of story, or like character interaction which is kind of a shame

My biological functions will actually end if we need to wait until the loving 13th of July for Octo. Even as it is the wait is imperiling my unready body.

If the datamined content is any indication, they planned longer-term support for ARMS but didn't follow through with it for whatever reason, perhaps because the game wasn't selling in a sustained way.

ARMS' content and feature suite were consistent with that of a traditional fighting game and it dropped off for all the reasons traditional fighting games tend to drop off.

Better yet, Arms should stay it’s own thing and Capcom makes Power Stone 3 on Switch.
