New details for Side Order, the Splatoon 3 DLC arriving next week

Next week will see Splatoon 3 fans get new single player content when the Side Order expansion arrives, and to ensure everyone knows what is included, Nintendo have released an overview trailer for it, check it out.

In Side Order, you play as Agent 8, a resident of Inkopolis who wakes up in a new “world of order,” where the colour spectrum goes from white to … a little less white to … kinda grey to … well, that’s pretty much it.

On each floor of the Spire there are objectives that change each time you make an attempt, and they get harder the higher you climb. Objectives may include defeating enemies, securing specific areas for a set amount of time, and overcoming other skill-testing challenges.

Use the colour chips you receive to customize your Palette to your liking with enhancements such as increased firing speed, raised damage output and more. Fail to reach the top and you'll have to start over – but the colour chips you collect will be converted into a currency that can be exchanged for some permanent and helpful upgrades. Those upgrades might just give you a fighting chance of reaching the top next time around.

With Side Order designed to be played over and over again, there is a lot to look forward to when it arrives as part of the Splatoon 3 Expansion Pass on February 22nd.
