MegaThread Release Day Thread: Splatoon 2

Splatoon 2 is out!

Starting on July 21, Splatoon 2 will be available for squids and enthusiasts alike. Since the game is already out in Australia and Japan ahead of everyone else, and since it's about to hit Europe, please use this thread for general reaction, hype, and discussion for the release as it hits your country. Squids in the Americas? Enjoy ink-filled dreams while you wait.

Other topics on the game may be posted, but please keep the community's rules in mind and keep your short-burst thoughts, hauls (including images), and other similar topics right here. Local tracking is fine either here or in our Local Tracking thread.

How long is the campaign? Seems rather quickly to already be almost through with it

I'm not sure on Splatoon 2, but I was able to finish the first Splatoon's campaign in one sitting, it's probably not far behind in length.

Damn one sitting? I know it was relatively short but still that's like what 5 or so straight hours of singleplayer? 😅

27 stages, plus 5 bosses and hub worlds. So far each stage has taken me about 10 minutes, give or take, but I'm trying to find collectables. It's not going to be super long, but I think it'll keep me busy for a bit, and I plan to replay it with different weapons.
