Continuing the trend of weekly Splatoon 2 updates, the latest weapon to make a comeback is the Sploosh-o-matic. A shooter which specialises in close-range combat with fast firing but low accuracy, this weapon is great for charging the enemy team. Appearing in Splatoon for the Wii U as a part of free DLC, the Sploosh-o-matic proved a popular choice for many, so was an obvious choice to be brought back for the sequel.
Backing up the weapon will be the Curling Bomb sub weapon along with the Splashdown special - perfect for when enemies get too close. The news was announced on the Japanese Splatoon Twitter account which you can see below:
The Sploosh-o-matic is expected to roll out at 11am Tokyo time on 5th August; for folks outside of Japan the item will therefore be made available in North America today at 7pm Pacific / 10pm Eastern, while it's the early hours of 5th August (3am UK / 4am CET) in Europe.
Are you happy to see the weapon return? What has been your weapon of choice so far? Let us know.

Hooha my fav weapon returns! Die commoners!
It's about time for another map. 8 is not enough.
Once you sploosh, you just can't gloosh.
Just like in the original, every time I see this weapon name I immediately think of Pam from "Archer". Anyone else as immature as me out there?
@AlexOlney I hate you. (Figuratively speaking. Cackle.)
@OorWullie
I hope that they bring back the skate park stage.
So it'll be available in the splatfest?
@Obitokamui64 Yep, I liked Blackbelly too. I hope to see Flounder Heights, my favourite Rainmaker map added. New ones would be preferred of course.
Bring back Arowana mall!
@OorWullie there will be a new one for the duration of the splatfest at least
@OorWullie Twilight Zone stage is exclusive to Splatfest but a new stage nonetheless.
What's with all old weapons! I want splat brella!
@Mintendo I second that! That's my second favorite stage behind Moray Towers.
I really thought we'd get a new stage before yet another new weapon.
Nice special for the weapon. Here's hoping they hold off on releasing any new stages untill thet have at least 2 ready.
@Tate24 same. I could easily go on a rant right now about how they're bringing back all these old weapons and aren't giving people the first thing they advertised.
Just waiting for the Squiffers and Bamboozler to return
@OorWullie Need another 2 for the rotation. Getting a little bored with what we got (from a visual standpoint). Maybe I been playing too much tho.
Nice!! Great news! But my two Sloshers are still my current favs!
Not sure it'll replace the Tri-slosher for me, but I'll give it a try.
After watching Archer, I'd imagine a Sploosh-O-Matic to be some sort of robotic hand for grabbing you firmly around the neck.
Sounds like a good weapon for my play style. Reeeeally ready for a new stage, though.
My 2nd favorite weapon after the Splash-o-matic in Splatoon 1. definitely going to try this out.
I'd rather see the Splash-o-matic return. But whatever, that once will be certainly added too at some point.
I use the Splat Roller for my close range, but I'll give it a go
@Tate24 I agree! I need it!
@shani It's already in the game; level requirement is 25 to unlock access in the store.
This was one of my favourite weapons in the first one
I've been using the aerospray mg and this is very similar and I like the special better. I played a few rounds with it and have been able to play as well if not better using similar tactics. Nice addition!
