During its recent Nintendo Direct, Nintendo unveiled an expansion pass for Splatoon 3. The expansion pass will feature two waves of content. The first wave as part of the expansion pass will take players back to Inkopolis—the setting of the first game.
The Splatoon 3 version of Inkopolis acts as an alternative hub for players to hang out in, featuring the same shops and activities as the base game’s hub. Splatfests at Inkopolis will feature performances by the Squid Sisters. Inkopolis is coming to Splatoon 3 in Spring.
Wave 2 of the Splatoon 3 expansion pass is Side Order, which was hinted at during the Nintendo Direct. Little in the way of details have been revealed, however, and it’s likely that Side Order will be a more narrative-focused expansion. Side Order doesn’t have a solid release window.
Splatoon 3 was released back in Septeber 2022. Since its release, the game has been quite successful, with recent sales figures revealing that the game has sold over 10 million copies.
