Popular third-person ink shooter video game by Nintendo, "Splatoon" received its final update last month. However, there might be something new in store for the game and for fans to look forward to.

According to Game Spot, the final map Ancho-V Games was released last month and the final weapon, the Custom Hydra Splatling was released a week before it.

Game producer Hisoshi Nogami spoke during the Splatoon Koshien 2016 finals and confirmed that there may be new content on the way as a way of thanking fans for all the support they gave. As to what the content may be, there have been rumors and speculations that it may be a new weapon, new playable characters, and even a new map. The upcoming new content or DLC may also come for free as well.

"I know we announced that the content updates were going to end in January, but it's possible we might be able to do something more in the future," Nogami said, as translated and reported by Attack of the Fanboy. "Just please give us some time. We hope you'll continue to enjoy Splatoon and the Squid Research Lab!"
