In the world of Splatoon, multiplayer chaos often takes the spotlight, but Side Order promises a departure into uncharted waters. Nintendo’s surprise announcement brings Agent 8 back into action, tasked with scaling the mysterious Spire of Order in a Roguelike game loop. As the vibrant Inkopolis Square loses its color, players must unleash their ink-based skills against waves of enemies, all under the ominous gaze of the Spire. But what secrets does this monochrome world hold, and how will the introduction of color chips transform the gameplay?

Nintendo’s trailer, though light on gameplay, hints at a tonal journey that goes beyond conventional single-player campaigns. The choice to ascend the Spire of Order suggests a layered narrative and a quest for truth. In a landscape drained of color, players must wield the power of color chips strategically, customizing abilities for each level.

As the gaming community eagerly awaits the release of Side Order, Splatoon 3 keeps the excitement alive with regular updates during its Chill Season. New maps, weapons, songs, and events continue to captivate players, ensuring that the ink-splattering action remains as fresh as ever. However, with the promise of Side Order looming on the horizon, the single-player enthusiasts among us are gearing up for a solo adventure filled with challenges, mysteries, and, of course, plenty of ink.

In the grand scheme of Nintendo’s 2024 releases, including titles like Princess Peach: Showtime and the Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door remake, Side Order stands out as a major highlight. While whispers about the Switch successor persist, Nintendo remains tight-lipped. The gaming community anticipates a 2024 announcement and release, but until then, Splatoon 3 enthusiasts have their eyes set on February 22 and the thrilling world of Side Order.
