Splatoon 2 also features the first rotation with Tower Control, Splat Zones, and Rainmaker for specific battles, and these are unlocked after level 10. In League Battles, friends can play together by forming teams in the same modes as in Ranked battles.

A new game mode named Salmon Run allows four players to team up and fight with a continuous wave of enemies called Salmonids and collect Boss Salmonids eggs.

The game offers a single-player campaign known as Hero Mode in which the player saves captured Zapfishes across various levels while combatting the evil Octarians.
