Splatoon has a way of upping the ante as one of Nintendo's most bizarre and genre-bending series. With Splatoon 3, the Octolings traversed the larger post-apocalyptic world into a full adventure while facing off against new threats in the ever-escalating turf wars, and recent expansions have kept things interesting since the third game's 2022 launch.
In the upcoming Side Order expansion, set for release on Feb. 22, the mysterious Agent 8 returns for a new adventure into a surreal dungeon crawler, which manages to up the Splatoon hijinks in surprising ways. We got a chance to play an hour of the Side Order's opening act and saw first-hand how Splatoon 3's new expansion is a genuine game-changer.
