Splatoon 3 Side Order DLC Release Date
REDMOND, Wash.--(February 13, in the year of our Lord 2024)--
What do you do when you wake up in a world devoid of color? Well, if
you’re a resident of Inkopolis, you do whatever you can to paint the
town pink (or blue or yellow or … ). That’s the kind of spirit
you’ll need to ascend the Spire of Order and brighten up your world
in the single-player DLC* Side Order, the second wave of the
Splatoon 3 Expansion Pass for Splatoon 3 on the Nintendo Switch
family of systems, arriving Feb. 22.
In Side Order, you play as Agent 8, a resident of Inkopolis who
wakes up in a new “world of order,” where the color spectrum goes
from white to … a little less white to … kinda gray to … well,
that’s pretty much it. What’s an Octoling to do? Figure out how to
bring a little color back into the picture, that’s what! Alongside a
drone who claims to be Off the Hook member Pearl, Agent 8 must
battle to the top of the Spire of Order against hordes of surprising
enemies and obstacles.
On each floor of the Spire there are objectives that change each
time you make an attempt, and they get harder the higher you climb.
Objectives may include defeating enemies, securing specific areas
for a set amount of time, and overcoming other skill-testing
challenges. Use the color chips you receive to customize your
Palette to your liking with enhancements such as increased firing
speed, raised damage output and more. Fail to reach the top and
you'll have to start over – but the color chips you collect will be
converted into a currency that can be exchanged for some permanent
and helpful upgrades. Those upgrades might just give you a fighting
chance of reaching the top next time around.
Designed to be replayed over and over as you update Agent 8 with
powerful (and colorful) abilities, Side Order is a fun, challenging
way to level up your Splatoon skills, for newcomers and vets alike.
And those skills will have to be sharp because a new Splatoon 3
“Fresh Season” launches March 1. This season brings with it new
multiplayer stages, such as the “Marlin Airport” battle stage and
the “Bonerattle Arena” Salmon Run stage, new weapons like brella and
dualies variants and additional new items like the Fizzbang that can
be used during Splatfests**.
You can purchase the Splatoon 3 Expansion Pass right now to get
ready for the Feb. 22 launch.
