Nintendo has revealed that Splatoon 2’s final planned content update (also known as Version 4.3.0) will launch on Wednesday, December 5th, bringing an end to almost 18 months of free post-launch content support.
Despite being a notable milestone in Splatoon 2’s development, Version 4.3.0 isn’t, admittedly, the most thrilling of updates; as outlined in the announcement video below, it’s predominantly focussed on gear abilities, although new weapons are thrown in too.
On the gear abilities front, 4.3.0 introduces Bomb Defence Up DX – a combination of, and a replacement for, the current Bomb Defence Up and Cold-Blooded abilities. Clothing that previously came with either of those two skills will now feature the Bomb Defence Up DX variant instead, meaning that bearers will enjoy both reduced damage from sub-weapons and shortened durations for any position-tracking effects.
