Splatoon 3 Side Order DLC arrives near the end of February
Splatoon 3 fans woke up to big news this morning. After initially being slated for Spring 2024, the second wave of the game’s DLC is getting a bump up. It’s now scheduled to be released toward the end of next month.
Splatoon 3 Sider Order is now confirmed to be heading our way on February 22. It’s included as part of the Splatoon 3 Expansion Pass. The pass consists of the already released Inkopolis DLC and the upcoming Sider Order content. The Expansion Pass is currently listed at $24.99.
Today’s Side Order release date trailer looks like it purposely evokes a Matrix vibe. We see Agent 8 fall asleep on a train just as the screen starts to glitch. It then quickly becomes overwhelmed by falling symbols that’s quite similar to the Matrix series’ green coding. We’ll have to wait and see whether the sci-fi series is alluded to any further in the upcoming DLC.
Inkopolis reintroduced the first Splatoon game’s main hub as an explorable area. There were some minor changes to the environment, but nothing radical. Side Order looks to be a much meatier piece of new content.
Side Order introduces a new location in the Spire of Order. In this single-player campaign, players will experience a challenge tower of sorts. You’ll attempt to advance through the Spire of Order’s various floors by taking on wave after wave of oncoming enemies. Nintendo says the new content is meant to be played over and over.
More single-player content for the “superb” Splatoon 3 is certainly something to be excited about. We’ll see how it all comes together on February 22.
