Nintendo has announced the addition of Moray Towers, a highly anticipated map, to Splatoon’s map rotation for the Nintendo Wii U.
This new stage, first revealed during a Nintendo Treehouse live stream that spotlighted the innovative Tower Control mode, introduces a fresh sense of verticality to the competitive multiplayer landscape of Splatoon. Since its launch in May 2015, Splatoon has distinguished itself with unique map design and strategic gameplay, combining ink-based combat with a vibrant, ever-evolving world.
Crafted by Nintendo’s development team, Splatoon quickly gained critical and commercial success, surpassing 4 million copies sold worldwide on Wii U and setting the foundation for a franchise that continues to thrive on newer platforms. Moray Towers elevates gameplay by challenging teams to navigate two towering structures set under construction, adding a new dimension to Splatoon's already dynamic matches.
According to an official statement shared by the Squid Research Lab, the developers emphasized the stage’s unique layout and strategic possibilities.
The new map will be available in the rotation starting at 7 PM PT, and players are encouraged to explore its series of sloping paths, tight hairpin turns, and steep walls that can be scaled for surprise attacks on opponents.
The spokesperson from Squid Research Lab stated: “Moray Towers isn’t just about ascending or descending towers—it’s the fast-paced transitions and vertical strategies that create new opportunities for players to reach the front lines or flank their foes.” The Moray Towers area had its first public reveal via a Nintendo Treehouse presentation, which also demonstrated Tower Control, a popular ranked mode where teams battle for control of a moving tower.
This synergy between new maps and modes has been a hallmark of Splatoon’s ongoing support, keeping the Wii U multiplayer community active and engaged through regular free content updates distributed via Nintendo eShop. Splatoon’s commitment to post-launch content reflects Nintendo’s broader strategy of sustaining interest through fresh experiences and community involvement.
By adding Moray Towers, Nintendo not only expands the tactical possibilities for veteran players but also strengthens the enduring appeal of Splatoon on Wii U—a platform that continues to host an active player base thanks to strong first-party support and innovative design. Players can access Moray Towers beginning at 7 PM PT, with the new map appearing in multiplayer rotation across various modes.
For fans eager to test their skills on the latest addition, it’s a perfect opportunity to engage with Splatoon’s acclaimed online battles and explore the vertical tactics that define the Moray Towers experience.
