We have some good news for players who may still not have had the chance to try out Splatoon 2, as Nintendo reveals that a playable demo for the popular third-person shooter has just become available on the Nintendo Switch eShop; there is a caveat, though.
According to Nintendo's announcement, the playable demo for Splatoon 2 is a limited offer of sorts, and the developer reveals that it will only be available until the 6th of May at 6:59 AM Pacific Time / 9:59 AM Eastern Time.
The good news is that this demo for Splatoon 2 will give online access to players to — who will be able to participate in a bunch of modes like 4-on-4 Tur War Battles, Ranked Battles, and Salmon Run co-op; all of which will be transferred to the full game choose they decide to purchase it after the trial is over.
It is also worth mentioning that once players download the demo via the Nintendo Switch eShop, they will receive an email with a code for the 7-day special trial for Nintendo Switch Online — otherwise they will not be able to participate, well, online — which players need to activate via the eShop.
The squid kids called Inklings are back to splat more ink and claim more turf in this colorful and chaotic 4-on-4 action shooter. For the first time, take Turf War battles on-the-go with the Nintendo Switch™ system, and use any of the console’s portable play styles for intense local multiplayer* action. Even team up for new 4-player co-op fun in Salmon Run!
Splatoon 2 is currently available exclusively for the Nintendo Switch.
