The Splatoon 3 Side Order DLC is probably the biggest unknown in the Splatoon world right now. Since its announcement almost a year ago now, we’ve had no official updates on what’s going on with the DLC or hints at any kind of story direction. However, we do have a few threads to pull that may just give us some answers as to what to expect. In this article, we’ll piece together what we know about the Side Order DLC:

This is the second time they’d appear in DLC, the first being during Agent 8’s adventure in Octo Expansion. Continuing with this theme, it seems they are, at the very least, titular characters for Side Order. What remains to be seen is how they will impact the adventure. Are they out to be guided again, just like in Octo Expansion? That exact question lends detail to much more of what Side Order might just be when we look at the full picture.
Agent 8 Making a ComebackWhile it isn’t exactly confirmed who the Octoling is in the Side Order DLC, it would be no big surprise if it was Agent 8 all over again. The similarities in the thread are just too present to deny that for the time being: Splatoon 2’s Lobby, the fact that Marina and Pearl are there too, and the fact that it’s DLC we’re talking about. If the Splatoon team is good at anything, it’s repeating a storyline from one game to another, which is something we’ve all seen from 1 to 2, all the way up to Splatoon 3.
