Splatoonies Can Head Back To Blackbelly Skatepark Tomorrow
Whatever Splatoon 2 fans actually call themselves, they can expect to return to a favorite multiplayer map starting tomorrow.
Nintendo Europe announced the return of Blackbelly Skatepark on Twitter today, making it the latest free DLC drop for Nintendo's family friendly shooter. The multiplayer map features a host of ramps and halfpipes of varying heights, and has received some minor tweaks compared to its layout in the original Splatoon. Tomorrow should also mark the release of another free DLC weapon to the game, but Nintendo hasn't given any hints as to what it may be. Here's a shot of the full map, courtesy of Nintendo.

Our Take
Nintendo has gotten plenty of guff
for its online offerings over the years (and justifiably so), but it has been
doing a stand-up job supporting Splatoon 2. Here's hoping the developers of
gaming's other big multiplayer shooters are taking notes.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
