When Nintendo revealed Splatoon at this year’s E3 conference, their focus was on the 4v4 multiplayer mode. In an interview with Game Rant, Splat0on producer Hisashi Nogami and project lead Tsubasa Sakaguchi confirmed that Splatoon will be a full featured retail title with many different modes.
First of all, our plan is to release this as a full retail packaged software in 2015… the first half of 2015. And because we’re releasing this as a full software title, we of course plan to include a single-player mode but then also a one-on-one multiplayer mode that can be played without connecting to the Internet.
What we can tell you about the one-on-one, at least, is that one player will be using the GamePad, one player will be using the Pro Controller. And we’re actually thinking of having that one-on-one mode be something kinda completely different from the four-on-four one where it’ll be, you know, kind of a lot more stalking and hiding in the ink. It’ll be much more like a quiet mode in a sense.”
“And, you know, we’ve progressed [in development] at least to that point, but in terms of what we’re going to do with the screens – whether we’re going to have one person on the TV and one person on the GamePad – we’re not sure yet.
Splatoon will launch exclusively for the Wii U in the first half of 2015.
