Splatoon 3 is providing gamers a brand new strategy to paint the city red–or blue, or yellow, etc–in Side Order, a brand new enlargement releasing later this month. Nintendo has launched an summary trailer on the mode, which introduces roguelite components into the splat-based shooter on February 22.
Side Order follows Agent 8, an Octoling who finds themselves within the mysterious Spire of Order. The world is devoid of colour, and so as to restore it, Agent 8 should journey by means of your entire tower, with a brand new sidekick–who claims to be Pearl from Splatoon 2’s Off The Hook–in tow.
Touring by means of the tower brings a brand new roguelite spin to the Splatoon 3 format, with every of the 30 flooring providing completely different challenges with each attempt–and completely different bosses on each tenth flooring. Gamers will accumulate colour chips throughout every run that briefly improve their skills, and on the finish of every run, these chips will likely be transformed to a forex which might unlock different–and extra permanent–upgrades.
We took the Side Order enlargement for a spin in our video preview above, which referred to as it “the right excuse to leap again into Splatoon.” The preview additionally says that the “roguelite tackle Splatoon ended up feeling so pure, that we’re kinda stunned it wasn’t already a factor,” as “the items have at all times been there.”
Splatoon 3 is accessible now completely on Nintendo Swap. The Side Order enlargement will likely be obtainable February 22 as a part of the Splatoon 3 Growth Move.
