Splatoon's original soundtrack is called Splatune

Features 61 tracks.

Splatoon will be getting a comprehensive 61-track soundtrack entitled Splatune.

Revealed in Famitsu (via Siliconera), the album will be a two-disc collection featuring 37 music tracks, 10 single tracks, and 14 tracks based on sound effects.

Splatune will be released in Japan on 2nd October, where it will retail for ¥3200 (about £17).

Our Martin Robinson praised Splatoon's soundtrack and considered Nintendo's squid-based shooter an essential title. "There's a sense of bubblegum rebellion in the day-glo punk aesthetic too, backed up by spiky, catchy tunes that cascade with all the sweetness of late-90s Sega," he said in his Splatoon review.

This sumptuous song, Squid Sisters, will appear on Splatune.Watch on YouTube
