IGN editors have claimed before that they would change a game's score if an update significantly changed the situation.
They're full of shit though, because like every other site that says stuff like that, they just say 'that wasn't what was holding the game back, it didn't affect the score' even if their primary complaint is addressed. Look at Codename STEAM, the reviewer's main complaint was the inability to speed up enemy turns. He emphasized that this was the game's greatest flaw multiple times during their Nintendo podcast. In the end he gave the game a 7.9. That was fixed within a month. No change to the score. Not even a tenth of a point higher? Really, Jose?
I do expect a revision to the Splatoon review after the August update, because that update has actual attention around it. People are hyping it up even though the only thing we know about it is that it will add team modes. Really the review could at least get a PS right now since they've already added a bunch of stuff, but they won't do it until it will be a 'story.'
