Chaos has ensued since the Squid Research Lab found out that one half of the Squid Sisters has vanished. Many people are concerned about Callie's disappearance hoping for new information to shed some light on her whereabouts. Callie's sister in the meantime has set up base in Cap'n Cuttlefish's absence as she leads the search. Now details have emerged about Splatoon 2's single player campaign, mentioning Marie, the Octarians and what new weapons they have acquired. 

Making his return from the original Splatoon outing is Sheldon, who is bringing with him an arsenal of mad weaponry for you to test out in the ongoing war. New contraptions such as the Inkfurler and Rolonium are shown in action, giving players an insight into what to expect.

The full report from the Squid Research Lab can be read below:

Unbeknownst to the population of Inkopolis, the fight against the Octarian army rages on. It’s up to you to investigate Octo Canyon, the secret underground world of the Octarians. You won’t be alone though as Callie’s best friend Marie has been keeping a close watch on the Octarians in Cap’n Cuttlefish’s absence. No clue where he is, by the way, we’re mainly just impressed by Marie’s ability to balance her busy lifestyle with this gargantuan responsibility.

As you progress through Hero Mode, Sheldon will provide you with many different weapons from his shop Ammo Knights. Don’t think he’s acting out of the kindness of his heart, though! Sheldon is a shrewd business-crab, and you’re doing him a favour by testing out new weapons against the Octarians. But fair is fair, and in exchange he’ll make Hero Mode weapons available to you to use in Turf Wars! What a nice chap.

Throughout Hero Mode, you’ll come across all sorts of bizarre contraptions and this ride rail is just one of them! Hop aboard and you’ll automatically zip along at breakneck speed! Jump while riding to fling yourself high into the air. Show off your freshest tricks as you blaze through stages!

Meanwhile, this contraption right here is an Inkfurler. When you come across them, they’ll be rolled up tightly, but with a generous splash of ink they unfurl nicely. You can move with ease across an unfurled one, and the force of an unrolling Inkfurler can knock out enemies, too. Move quickly though! Once a certain amount of time has passed – or if hit with enemy ink – it will roll back up.

And lastly, let’s take a look at some Rolonium. When hit, it’ll roll off with a whole lot of oomph and squish anything in its path – including Octarians! Shoot it at an angle from underneath to launch it into the air. Some Octarians will attack using the Rolonium, but if you time it right, you can whack it right back at them!

This new update arrives after we received our first look at Hero Mode during the Arms Direct a few weeks ago when the Squid Research Lab hacked the presentation. If you're not caught up with the story you can read the ongoing saga surrounding the Squid Sisters here. 

As always, any new findings presented from the Squid Research Lab will be reported immediately as the search for Callie continues. Will you be joining the search party come July? Leave us a comment.
