Recently, Nintendo announced that Splatoon 3‘s story DLC, titled Side Order, will launch on February 22. The DLC will feature the return of Agent 8, Pearl, and Marina from Splatoon 2. A previous trailer also hints at the existence of a new character named Acht.
The gameplay of Side Order appears to have rogue-lite elements. Before every level, players can pick a specific gameplay modification that makes the stage easy, medium, or hard difficulty. The harder the difficulty, the more rewards you’ll get by beating it. Here’s an overview of the upcoming DLC expansion, via Nintendo:
Challenge your slick skills in this new single-player campaign. Introducing the Spire of Order, where you’ll strengthen your character’s abilities as you ascend the Spire’s floors again and again. Splatoon 3: Expansion Pass – Side Order for the Splatoon 3 game is planned to release in spring 2024.
Lastly, The Legend of Zelda concert and Splatoon 3 concert will be available on the Nintendo YouTube channel on February 9 and February 10, respectively.
