A year later, MachineGames will be releasing the first major expansion, which is broken up into two parts: “Rudi Jäger and the Den of Wolves” and “The Dark Secrets of Helga Von Schabbs.” If you want to find out what happen before the events of The New Order, The Old Blood DLC is a must-play.

In addition to defeating enemies, players can also use their weapons to paint the environments in order to gain some advantages over the competition. The game will support up to eight players (four versus four) online. With post launch support already being planned, Splatoon should keep Wii U fans busy for a long time.
