Nintendo Shows Snippet Of Splatoon 2's Humpback Pumptrack Map
Splatoon 2 may not look all that different from the original game, but you can bet the game will have some new maps. After the conclusion of a recent Splatoon tournament, Nintendo showed off some footage of a new map for the game, Humpback Pumptrack.
The amp is inspired by an indoor BMX track, and features topsy-turvy inclines. The map looks fairly large, too, if the ramps in the distance of the images Nintendo showed off are any indication. Nintendo's clip is only 45 seconds long, but if you're excited for more Splatoon action, that might be all you need.
A new stage for #Splatoon2 was just announced during the @ESLSplatoon Europe Grand Final!

Our Take
Splatoon 2 continues to show off how great the series' art direction is, and how its inspired take on multiplayer makes for locations you won't find on other battlefields.
