Nintendo has released a new overview trailer for Splatoon 3’s Side Order DLC. The story sees Agent 8 exploring the mysterious Spire of Order alongside Pearl, the Off the Hook singer who’s strangely become a drone.

Players advance through the Spire, one floor at a time, and can choose one of three objectives. Destroy portals that spawn enemies, chase down and defeat them, guide a ball and more. Objectives grant Color Chips, upgrades which increase your firing speed, damage, and more.

There are over 60 Color Chips to choose from, and they can provide multiple options, from adjusting your Main Weapon’s features and increasing the explosion radius of bombs to spamming your Special Weapon several times. Pearl can also be upgraded to help in combat.

Venture higher into the Spire, and more challenging enemies and objectives will pop up. Failure to reach the top takes you back to the beginning. While all Color Chips are lost, they’re converted to Pearls to spend on permanent upgrades for your next run, including Max Lives, Damage Reduction, Max Armor, Drone Action Slots and more.

What awaits at the top? You’ll have to find out yourself when Splatoon 3: Side Order launches on February 22nd for Nintendo Switch. Check out our review of the base game here in the meantime.

Splatoon 3’s Expansion Pass was announced a year ago now, with Nintendo confirming that it would be bringing new content to the shooter in two waves of content. The first wave, Inkopolis Plaza, launched in February last year, with Nintendo confirming that Wave 2, Side Order, would be out sometime in Spring 2024. Now, the expansion’s got a confirmed release date.

Nintendo has announced that Splatoon 3: Side Order will be out less than a month from now, on February 22. The expansion will add a new single player campaign where players will step into the shoes of Agent 8 and return to Inkopolis Square, only to find it mysteriously abandoned and drained of all colour.

Players will be tasked with entering the ominous Spire of Order, with a drone named Pearl for company, and fight your way through challenges and enemies to climb the tower’s floors and reach its summit. Yep, it’s a roguelite.

Splatoon 3 is available on Nintendo Switch. Read our review of the game through here.

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

After promising a 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.
