Off the Hook Dystopian World Tour
Welp, looks like The Industry’s Chris Moyse is about to get back on his weekly BS — Nintendo has officially announced thatSplatoon 2hosts Pearl and Marina, collectively known as rap-rock outfit Off the Hook, are getting set to make a return in upcoming Switch shooter sequelSplatoon 3.
The BFFs and “musicians,” who battled it out month after month in a wild array of Splatfest events, resurfaced this morning via brand new artworkreleased by Nintendo. A short blurb informs fans that the duo has established an all-new backing band, monikering the new act “Damp Socks feat. Off the Hook.” Pearl & Marina will be rocking vocals as always, with Marina demonstrating her newfound pianist skills, whilst rocking asmokin’orange power suit and dagger heels combo.
you’re able to check out a preview of the band’s new track in the video below. Tinkle those ivories, gurl.
Now, this reveal does notnecessarilyconfirm that Off the Hook will be returning to hostSplatoon 3‘s splatfests. In fact, the “currently on world tour” comment suggests that while we will behearinga lot from our ladies, we probably won’t beseeingall that much of them. This is in keeping with previousSplatoontitles, which have introduced new hosts for each season, while still keeping the predecessors in and around the precipitates of the action.
Regardless, I’m just happy to see the dopey duo return. As long-time Destructoid readers will know, I was pretty much official PR for almost every singleSplatoon 2splatfest, as well as Off the Hook’s weirdmusical monstrosities. I don’t know what to tell you. They’re good kids and they’re keeping the scene alive. WhileSplatoon 3is planning on delivering something of a darker and more industrial vibe than previous releases, we can rest assured that Marina andThe Queen of Worldwill be sticking around to inject their own colorful, musical comedy into the proceedings.
Splatoon 3launches on Nintendo Switch September 9. Until then, Don’t get Cooked, Stay Off the Hook.
