Splatoon 2 has sold over 10 million copies to date

Sales officially Off the Hook

Things might’ve gone a little quiet in the world of Splatoon, but that’s no indication that the colourful shooter series has fallen out of fan favour. In fact, as noted in , latest entry Splatoon 2 has been an incredible success, having sold over 10 million copies since its launch back in 2ꦦ017.

As one of the few competitive shooters on the platform, Splatoon 2 won 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, Splatoon has truly built a welcoming and pa⭕ssionate 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 – Splatoon has gone from strength to strength since its 2015 Wii-U debut. There are not many Nintendo franchises that can boast of comics, music concerts, and clothing, but Splatoon‘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.

Splatoon 2 is available now on Nintendo Switch.
