Nintendo has confirmed via its Facebook page that the Camp Triggerfish map will go live tomorrow morning in the UK.
This new map has a tribal feel which sets it apart from the levels we've seen so far - it's like a wooden assault course, complete with squid-like totem poles. The stage is unique in that it features floodgates which - in the game's Turf War mode - only open when there's one minute left on the clock, drastically changing attack routes through the map.
The map launches in North America at 7PM PT tomorrow, too.
More info has been posted on the official Splatoon Tumblr account:
When the Inklings aren't busy making s'mores or boondoggle key chains, they enjoy the majestic scenery afforded by camping the best way they know how – Turf War! Battles here play out across a series of bridges, which you'll have to cross to reach your opponents' turf.
Each team base at Camp Triggerfish is outfitted with a set of floodgates. When the gates are down, it's easier for the other team to come and go as they please. In Turf War, the gates lower with one minute left on the clock, leading the way for late-game assaults. In Ranked Battle, they stay down so players can come and go as they please. Watch out in Tower Control! The tower's path is almost always over water and you'll need to show off your best squid skills to avoid getting dunked.
Starting tomorrow at 7 PM PT, Camp Triggerfish will be added to the stage rotation. Maybe after we're done battling we can gather round the fire and sing some jaunty campfire tunes!
Thanks to John Leith for the heads up.

This is cool. I love they just pump out new maps for free. Splatoon for the win!
Great. I've been waiting for this since it was announced and I'm away for three weeks tomorrow. Sod's law as always.
This was the last of the maps/weapons in the Prima guide that had not yet been released. Looking forward to it...that last minute opening is like the Delfino Pier coin runners stage in MK Wii, which is always fun.
@ULTRA-64
I 2nd that !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A dynamic map? Cool! I was wondering why every map except Saltspray Rig was completely static, but this certainly sounds like gamechanger material!
SPLATOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!
@MJKOP somebody should criticise their devils third coverage......You'll get a quick response then
Tomorrow morning for the UK but tomorrow evening for the US? Don't they usually release simultaneously? With time difference, that's like an 18-24 hour difference. Is it 7pm tonight for the U.S. (Pacific) and like 3am Saturday morning for UK?
Awesome! I get out of hospital this afternoon! Can't wait to ignore my children and "heal up"!
Sounds awesome!
The last stage that's on-disc locked DLC.
@Blastcorp64 no, it's coming to North America 7pm tonight and 3am Saturday morning UK time. It's an 8 hour time zone difference. It's releasing at the same time.
Cool, this stage looks great. I know nothing about it except for what's in this article, so I can't wait to fully explore it.
Now I just need to decide whether it's worth staying up to 3am to play.
Yes! This is by far my most anticipated new stage. Too bad I'm unlikely to get internet at my new home until later next week.
Yes!!! I've been waiting for this map since the first time it was shown, looks fun!
@123akis I figured that. It threw me off because the article is time stamped today (Friday) and the article said tomorrow for the US. But, I guess, because it was written very early in the morning (UK) he referenced tomorrow from the perspective of it still being Thursday evening in the U.S. (Pacific). I don't know, I'm still kind of confused.
@Kaze_Memaryu I didn't recognize you with your new avatar, but I knew who was posting once I got to the end. (I tend to overlook user names, for some reason.)
Thanks all for the report. The issue is resolved.
@Blastcorp64 @123akis Yeah I'm confused too, the article clearly states "tomorrow in the US" and the time stamp clearly states 5:30AM, which would have been 12:30AM in the UK - Im in NY - which is Friday morning, so tomorrow is Saturday. (Unless DST is messing me up, which is very posdible.)
I think Damo was tired and didn't realize what day/time it was when he posted this. I'm guessing it's tonight, Friday at 10PM (NY) b/c I can't recall them adding anything on a Saturday night before.
Looking forward to the new map. I still haven't played Moray city yet, it keeps timing out before I get there.
What we really need is invisibility as a sub weapon. Was watching a show about cuttlefish the other night and they manage some serious camouflage (also a key component in Jurassic World). Bubbling is cool, but hiding behind a wall then turning invisible and walking out and blasting the other team would be kind of epic. They already have invisible walls in single player -and those are some serious cool invisible walls, I've tried looking all around but I can't see a single edge, side, shadow or anything, it's like they aren't even there, so invisibility is already part of the game engine, they just need to let us apply it to our inkling.
Edit: Duh, I completely screwed up my tie zone conversions this morning, subtracted 5 hours rather than added, so now I'm even more confused.
I haven't played this in like a month... Haha. I need to get back to it, there's been so much new content since the last time I played.

@Damo The Americas time is behind Europe btw so it will be coming today for those in NA.
I see that one week we get weapons, the next one a stage, so I wait two weeks and get everything together.
@rjejr
Happy.... man, it was fun. So Happy Birthday Simón Bolívar!
@LztheQuack great, that was a bit... uncomfortable, quite shocked to see that! Thanks for sorting it, no place for it anywhere
@sinalefa Starting next week I'm changing my avatar on a regular basis to album covers, starting w/ an album that turns 50, which I find harder to believe than turning 50 myself, so we can have some fun w/ that.
Are you still playing splatoon? I always check to see if friends are playing but nobody ever is, I'm guessing b/c they are all in ranked, hopefully we can join them starting in August.
@MJKOP and especially not here. I guess a decent community and good moderating means that it was a bit of a surprise. People can indulge in that sort of thing on YouTube!
@rjejr I'm in UK, and the time stamp of this article is 10:30am
@rjejr
I still play Turf Wars. Ranked is too hard for me. And why invisibility when you can hide in your own ink and surprise people now?
@sinalefa - B/c you can't shoot people while hiding in your own ink. Admittedly it would work a lot like bubble shield, but it would be cooler b/c you would be invisible. Who doesn't like invisible? Though of course they would call it camouflage as there's no such thing as invisible.
