Earlier this month, Nintendo teased the return of Ancho-V Games to Splatoon 2 - a stage that featured a large office complex and a game development studio. This stage and four new weapons will arrive in-game just as the month of August gets underway.
In the original Splatoon, Ancho-V featured raised floors and interactive platforms, with fans that control the movement of platforms when hit by ink. Here's a quick PR message about the stage's return:
Ancho-V Games (the hit developers of the addictive Squid Beatz 2) have opened up their office space once again! Inklings and Octolings should be on the lookout for a few renovations to this important location. Hopefully using their office like this won’t delay future development of their games, but it seems like a risk they’re willing to take!
The four weapons (which you can see below) are the bathtub-like Bloblobber (Splash Wall / Ink Storm), the Nautilus 47 (Point Sensor / Baller), the Light Tetra Dualies (Sprinklers / Autobomb Launcher), and the Custom Hydra Splatling (Ink Mines / Ink Armor).
As with every month, the X rank will also see a reset as soon as the update kicks in at 5pm PT (31st July) / 8pm ET (31st July) / 1am BST (1st August) / 2am CEST (1st August).
Will you be exploring all of these new Splatoon 2 goodies? Tell us below.

Sweet. A new stage and some new weapons. ^^
Hydra finally gets a good kit that's actually useful for it. The Dark Tetra Dualies set doesn't quite fit it imo. Looking forward to the new stage and Nautilus!
Fresh!!
Blob lobbed is interesting. Nautilus having a baller as a Splatling is pretty unique as well. Light Tetra Dualies have a bad kit like the Dark variant but arguably worse now after Autobombs were reasonably buffed. The
Custom Hydra will probably completely overshadow the original because it actually has a fitting kit for itself.
This is great! I hope that they bring back all of the stages from Splatoon.
@Alex18 I loved that one
My monthly reason to tank my solo-rankings! Pretty keen to try the Nautilus 47 and Custom Hydra Splatling
I do so enjoy using weapons I am absolutely horrible with. Unfortunately, these two fit the bill, but I guess that gives me a reason to push the rank back up next week!
Super excited, this is one of my favorite stages from the original game!
Splattershot Pro needs more variations cheers
@Sidon_ZoraPrince Each weapon appears to get two variations and the Pro already has them. Other than that, I agree.
Still hoping against all odds that Saltspray Rig finds its way back into Splatoon 2. I know it was slightly problematic for being a little asymmetrical, but they could modify it a bit, right?
Can't wait! Been getting back into Splatoon again!
Ooooh I´m gonna enjoy that Hydra I think. As well as the Nautilus 47. Great kits for me. Just sucks that it´s so hot though, I barely feel like playing anything.
I will be trying those new weapons.
@-Green- Is the dark kit considered bad? I made it to X rank in tower control almost exclusively using the DTDs, haha
Looking forward to using the Bloblobber the most. It's a Turf War beast coupled with the Ink Storm.
I'll be there!!!!!!!!
Nintendo needs to stop updating this game. I have an ever-growing game backlog that needs some attention!
I really like this map.
But in the end, I'm still expecting all the old maps and 4 more original ones.
@Alex18
Splatzones on that stage is great
