Splatoon 2 will see an end to players modding their systems with unfair hacks in order to win competitive matches in the shooting turf war game.

Well over a year since its release, Splatoon 2 has been plagued with hackers getting things like unlimited ink and pre-release characters into online matches.

It got so bad that a player hacked the Splatoon 2 leaderboard, making the top four spots “Please Add Anti Cheat.”

For players who are intensely into the Splatoon 2 competitive scene, seeing players get away with any sort of hack that they want without consequence can be insanely frustrating.

What’s more, Nintendo has made it very difficult to report players for any given reason, as doing so in-game is impossible. Instead, players must download and log into the Nintendo Switch Online smartphone app, go through the last players they were playing with, and report them there. Not exactly convenient for an intense game with fairly quick lobby wait times.

With the oncoming paid service for Nintendo Switch Online, one could hope that Nintendo will be using players’ money to spend more time on implementing anti-cheat systems into big upcoming games like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

The latest update to Splatoon 2 that released in June has been datamined, with those dataminers stating that Nintendo is likely working on implementing the anti-cheat system sometime soon. The anti-cheat system is still dormant in the game’s code, but once it is unleashed, players caught hacking the Splatoon 2 online games will have their consoles flagged for unfair and illegal play.
