Description:
The Splatoon 2: Octo Expansion is a paid downloadable content pack that provides a new single-player campaign and unlocks the ability to play as a new species. It is a major expansion that is widely praised by fans for its challenging gameplay and rich lore.
The Octo Expansion includes:
-
A New Single-Player Campaign: The core of the DLC is a new campaign featuring over 80 new missions. Players take on the role of Agent 8, an amnesiac Octoling, who must complete a series of test chambers in a deep-sea subway system to reach the surface. The missions are known for their high difficulty and unique challenges that test a player's mastery of different weapons and mechanics.
-
Playable Octolings: By completing the main story of the expansion, players permanently unlock the ability to play as an Octoling in all of the game's multiplayer modes, including Turf War, Ranked Battle, and Salmon Run. This includes new Octoling-specific hairstyles and customization options.
-
New Lore and Characters: The campaign expands on the world of Splatoon by introducing new characters like Agent 8 and giving more backstory to the existing characters, Pearl and Marina.
-
New Gear and Cosmetics: Completing missions in the campaign rewards players with "Mem Cakes" and in-game currency, which can be exchanged for new gear and cosmetic items to use in multiplayer.
It's important to note that the Octo Expansion requires the base game Splatoon 2 to play. This DLC is also included as part of the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription.
