Splatoon 2 gameplay: Watch us fight a monster. Or a toaster oven. Or a monster toaster oven

Splatoon 2 is due out later this month, and we have our hands on it. After surprising us with a thrilling campaign in the first game, it looks like the sequel’s single-player content is going to win us over as well — read how it does so in our preview. We’ve also captured some gameplay of an early boss fight, which will help you understand why Splatoon 2 is so exciting.

Splatoon 2’s campaign levels consist in part of a series of obstacle courses. A few of those are especially inventive, like one where you ride ink rails around while fighting enemies. Or another where you have to unfurl coiled up bridges or scaleable walls by hitting them with your ink.
