Splatoon 3: Side Order Expansion Out in Spring 2024, First Gameplay Revealed

Venture to the Spire of Order and ascend its floors while selecting various upgrades and defeating multiple enemies in this single-player mode.

After promising new expansion for Splatoon 3, Nintendo finally revealed Wave 2 of the Expansion Pass in the latest Nintendo Direct. Side Order is a single-player mode where players venture to the Spire of Order and ascend it (while hopefully solving its various mysteries). Check out the latest trailer below to see it in action.

As you venture through the Spire’s various floors, you can strengthen your character’s abilities with upgrades for explosive damage, run speed and other stats by spending currency. Your highest floor is recorded, and you’ll face hordes of enemies. The mess of damage numbers can be a little disorienting, so hopefully, there’s an option to disable them.

The development team is aiming for a highly replayable experience. It’s out in Spring 2024 for Nintendo Switch, so stay tuned for more details and gameplay in the coming months. You can check out our review for the base game here in the meantime.
