Staying fresh!
Now that all DLC support for Splatoon 3 has ended, what with the Side Order campaign releasing in February 2024, following the news that Japan is to receive a physical release of Splatoon 3 packaged along with the Expansion Pass and a three-month subscription to Nintendo Switch Online, it has now been revealed, the same bundle will be released in Europe as well.
With a release date booked for July 18, 2024 for those in Japan and July 25, 2024 for those in Europe, eager fans looking to pick up this all-in-one packaged title, won’t have to wait long, but we must warn you, the box art is nothing worth coveting. But, why settle for our word, when you can see the box cover for yourself and formulate your own opinion:
About Splatoon 3 Bundle (Game + Expansion Pass):
Ink, swim, and splat in the freshest shooter around – This bundle includes the Splatoon™ 3 game for the Nintendo Switch™ system and the Splatoon 3 Expansion Pass, which includes two waves of downloadable content.
Enter 4-on-4* ink-slinging battles in this colorful action shooter packed with style and attitude. As a squid-like Inkling, quickly cover your surroundings (and opponents) in ink with wild weaponry and swim through your own color to sneak and splat. The included Splatoon 3 Expansion Pass DLC lets you make Inkopolis from the first Splatoon game your stomping (err…splatting?) grounds and will add a new single-player campaign called Side Order.
Keep it current with rotating items, seasonal catalogs, and special events – Variety is the spice of an Inkling’s life, so check out shops daily for a changing array of gear that is as fashionable as it is functional. Timed events like Splatfests** bring different types of chaotic competition and content updates add even more weapons and stages. Earn points to get in-game items from season-specific catalogs to dress up your own personal locker and show your style.
Splat Into the Spire of Order! – Take a deeper dive into the expansive world and colorful characters of the Splatoon series with a brand-new single-player campaign, Side Order! Step into the role of Agent 8, a young Octoling who defected from the Octarians, see what’s become of Inkopolis Square from the Splatoon 2 game, and make your way up the Spire of Order—where you never quite know what each floor will bring.
Build your palette with power-ups called color chips to expand your arsenal and abilities as you go. Each floor gets increasingly tough, but don’t worry—Side Order is meant to be played through again and again. With each run, you’ll acquire more Prlz (pronounced pearlz) to spend on permanent upgrades to help make the next run a little easier. You’ll need every edge you can get if you want to survive to the 30th floor!
Inkopolis Plaza, from the first Splatoon game, also makes a return. Another major metropolis of the Splatoon universe, Inkopolis has changed a bit in the past several years with some new shopkeepers. Ready to jam? Then come to Inkopolis to see some fresh Squid Sisters performances during Splatfests**.
