Nintendo has shared a new video to showcase the in-game treats players will get their hands on by scanning the upcoming Octoling amiibo into Splatoon 2.
The three-pack, which features Octoling Boy, Octoling Girl, and Octoling Octopus, is set to be available in the US on 7th December and in Europe slightly earlier on 9th November, granting fans special access to some stylish new gear. Befriending the Octoling Girl amiibo figure gets you the spellbinding look of the Enchanted gear, the Octoling Boy gives you the Steel gear, and last but not least, the Octopus amiibo rewards you with the Fresh Fish gear.
If you're wanting to have the freshest designs throughout Inkopolis (and some lovely new figures for your shelf at home, too) then make sure to grab the pack for yourself. Pre-orders are available from the Nintendo UK store here, or from Best Buy in the US here.
Do you plan on picking these amiibo up yourself? Are you still playing Splatoon 2 after the recent Nintendo Switch Online launch? Let us know below.

I need that witch outfit! Sadly, not sure if I'm ready to drop money for it yet. That and, I STILL need to finish the expansion to get my octoling free.
Boooyah
This way
Ouch!!!
Just recently got right back into Splatoon 2. I'd neglected it for so long. The original was my most played game ever but I burned myself out on it. Splatoon 2 didn't grab me in the same way even though I've somehow still managed to rack up 100 hours on it. I can see that number quadrupling though over the coming months/years.I recently bought the Octaling Expansion and that is fantastic. The game is bursting at the seams with content. After a long break from it you really notice just how much stuff is in there. Especially when having to sit through Sheldon telling you about all the new weapons.
I wish they'd tell us what the abilities are. The witch outfit is cute but it could also be completely useless to me depending on the abilities.
Oooooh I love the witch outfit, if only for the hat. Depending on the ability it has, I might wear that one a lot. Please don't have Cold Blooded or Quick Respawn.. I could work with anything else, but I really don't like those two in this game, personally.
Got them pre ordered for me and my daughter
I dont find the octo amiibos on amazon somehow... at least not in german store
*Balloons Not Included
I feel like ive had these preordered for over a year
I already have more amiibo than I can reasonably display.
But I still want these.
These outfits seem strangely Hallowe'en inspired.
I still find it surprising some people refuse to pre-order pieces like these and then get flustered when they sell out and can't find them anywhere. Nevermind the fact Nintendo has been keeping stock on these pretty close to the vest as to not over-produce them.
I feel like a dingus, I was just about to pre-order them at Best Buy (w/ Gamer Club discount) only to realize I already pre-ordered it in June along with Pokemon Lets Go Eevee bundle, such a long time ago.
Quite expensive just for those 3 outfits... buuuuut.... insert take my money meme here
Had it preordered since May. I don't even care what they do, they look cool.
I don't need it... I don't need it... I definitely don't need it.
@BenAV what is your opinion on the "best" abilities? I usually use powerful weapons that use up ink quickly so I'm trying to make an ink saver kind of build.
@Obitokamui64 I usually a lot of Ink Saver myself more than anything else. One full piece of Ink Saver (Main) for weapons that go through ink pretty quickly and maybe one or two full pieces of Ink Saver (Sub) if I have a sub weapon that I like to spam a lot like Splat Bombs. Special Charge Up, Ink Recovery Up and Swim Speed Up are the others I use pretty regularly. Plus some of the gear exclusive abilities like Tenacity and Object Shredder.
@BenAV thanks for the info! I've never tried the object shredder.
@BenAV also, I hate using the super jump unless I have the roll ability.
@Obitokamui64 I think Object Shredder is good on some of the high fire rate / low power shooters and Splatlings as they take two hits to destroy Ink Armor instead of one without it. I use it on the Splattershot Jr, also allows me to destroy Ballers with two Splat Bombs instead of three which is occasionally useful.
The only weapon I've tried Drop Roller with is the Octobrush Nouveau, as it has both Squid Beakons and the close range killing potential to capitalise. Aside from that, I only really super jump when I feel it's pretty safe to do so.
@BenAV I didn't realize that object shredder applies to shields. People always have shields in ranked mode. I'm going to have to try it out.
@Obitokamui64 Yep. Most weapons can break Ink Armor in one hit anyway but it's really handy for the weapons that can't.
