The Inkling Open might be over but Splatoon 2 has more content coming this spring.

At the end of the Splatoon 2 competition, we received a broadcast from the Squid Research lab with a couple of announcements.

First we got a release date for The Sheldon’s Picks which will come out April 2nd.

Two new weapons, the Clear Dapple Dualies and the Tenta Camo Brella, will arrive with the 10 weapons already announced in the Sheldon’s Picks.

This will be themed Tortoise vs Hare. Will it be speed or patience that wins?
