Wanna get your feet wet in fast-paced, messy ink battles? Do you have tentacles instead of feet? No matter your answer, the Splatoon™ 2 Special Demo 2020 may be for you!

Head to the Nintendo eShop on your Nintendo Switch system tomorrow to download the special demo, then get ready to play from 4/29 (Wed) at 11:00 p.m. PT — 5/6 (Wed) at 6:59 a.m. PT.

During the demo event, you'll be able to jump online* and fight it out in 4-on-4 Turf War battles with friends and other players who own the full game. You can also try out Ranked Battles and the Salmon Run co-op mode.

Just note that you'll need a strong internet connection and a Nintendo Switch Online membership to participate in the event. But if you don't have a membership, don't worry: You can try it out for free!

Get a free trial for Nintendo Switch Online

Once you download the special demo from Nintendo eShop, you'll receive an e-mail with a download code for a 7-day free trial** for Nintendo Switch Online. To activate it, please enter the code into Nintendo eShop. It doesn't matter if you've activated a previous free trial—you are still eligible for this trial, too.

Save on the full game

You'll also be able to save 30% on the purchase of the Splatoon 2 game during the special demo timeframe, so you can keep your game going! The progress you make during the demo event will even carry over to the full game, once purchased.
