Nintendo Reveals Callie’s Bittersweet End and Prologue for Splatoon 2, Stirring the Pot for Conflict between the Two Squid Sisters in the Upcoming Nintendo Switch Exclusive
During Splatoon‘s final Splatfest, the two iconic Squid Sisters, Callie and Marie, were pit against each other in an epic, squiddy, shoot-em-up free-for-all for popularity, and, as expected, only one of the two came out victorious. Well, thankfully enough, she’s not actually dead or anything, but this certainly didn’t sit well for our beloved squid-girl Callie, who ended up losing. Nintendo gave us a bit of background info on what’s going on in the world of Splatoon 2, hinting at clues as to what might have happened to our colorful Splatfest host.
To fill in some gaps between Splatoon and the upcoming Nintendo Switch exclusive title, Splatoon 2, Nintendo released a post through the Squid Sister Stories, which you can find by going over to the Splatoon 2 site, and it revolves around the subject of that final, fateful Splatfest. As of now, we only get this little snippet, but it takes a pretty ominous tone.-
“About nine months have passed since the final Splatfest
Twilight lowers its curtain on Inkopolis. Neon signs paint the dusk in brilliant shades of green and pink. The Squid Sisters dance on, as though driven by the Inkling love of battling for turf.
Memories such as these linger, vividly etched in my mind, but feel too like remnants of a long-forgotten past.
It happened the night the final Splatfest came to an end
The showdown of Callie versus Marie ended in victory for Marie, but the was no ill will between the two. The girls left the studio arm in arm, smiling and laughing as they always had. The bond between them would continue, unbroken for years to come.
Or so it seemed at the time…”
Is Callie actually okay? We might just have to wait until the release of Splatoon 2 on July 28th to find out.
