Splatoon 3 Expansion Pass Inkopolis

Squid Sisters Forever

The ink has dispersed around Splatoon 3’s first DLC. The Splatoon 3 Expansion pass has been announced, with the first of two waves is coming in Spring 2023.

The first wave has revealed a return of the original Splatoon’s Inkopolis hub area. This includes the shops, with some familiar faces showing up. The Squid Sisters will also perform during Splatfests.

Not much was really shown beyond the hub world. I’d have to think that there’s more to it than just that, however, even though it pokes the nostalgia center of the brain nicely. The tempura dude, Fred Crumbs looks pretty awesome. And delicious.

The second wave of the DLC is titled “side order,” but beyond that, we mostly have just a teaser. It shows a town that resembles a bleached reef with an Octoling standing among the whitened buildings.

The expansion pass should be available to purchase today. However, we’re waiting until Spring 2023.
