Splatoon 3 DLC ‘Expansion Pass – Side Order’ – ‘Overview’ trailer, details, and screenshots

2 months ago 79

Nintendo has released an overview trailer and new information and screenshots for Splatoon 3 downloadable content “Expansion Pass – Side Order,” which is due out on February 22.

Get the details below.

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.

Splatoon 3 is available now for Switch.
