The two new maps are Camp and Skyscraper. This is a floorplan of the Skyscraper stage:

The Sploosh-o-matic is described as a weapon for close-corner shooting. The Range Blaster fires long-range explosives at a slower rate. The H-3 Nozzlenose includes an Echolocator to track enemies and better utilize a slow fire rate. The Octobrush shoots ink and Squid Beakons while enabling players to escape on the Kraken.
The new modes are Splat Zones, Tower Control, and Rainmaker. The only one currently detailed, Rainmaker is essentially capture the flag, wherein gamers must capture the Rainmaker, which is protected by a shield that must be broken to carry. Players cannot Super Jump with the Rainmaker but can shoot ink with it.
Breitbart reached out to Nintendo for comment on the leak but did not receive a reply by the time of publication of this article.
