The anime series based on Splatoon will be made by  Japanese magazine CoroCoro

While we’re waiting for the release of Splatoon 2 on Switch, another news ensures an anime series inspired by the game

 

Splatoon, despite being comparatively new, has already become quite a popular title of Nintendo, specifically in Japan. The Inklings have gone on to star in their own manga series, and Squid Sisters Callie and Marie even held a live concert at the Japanese gaming event Niconico Tokaigi last year. Now, anime series inspired by the Splatoon franchise is on its way.

The anime series is all set to make its way to premiere on August 12. As per Japanese magazine CoroCoro, it will be airing a Splatoon anime on its YouTube channel (via Japanese Nintendo).

The animated adaptation by CoroCoro will be based on the magazine’s monthly manga series, which follows a team of Blue Inklings, as they take part in Turf Wars against other teams.

Just about this weekend, the first Splatfest of Splatoon 2 took place and there Team Ice Cream defeated Team Cake in the debut competition. It also gave us a glimpse at the game’s distinctly Nintendo-style warning, which comes to people who repeatedly disconnect during online matches. Other details about the game were revealed in a recent Nintendo Direct broadcast.

Splatoon 2 will come exclusively to the Nintendo Switch this week, on July 21. The Nintendo Switch Online mobile app will roll out alongside it and allow players to voice chat with friends and view a stat-tracking service called SplatNet 2.
