Many fans were no doubt delighted when Nintendo revealed that it will be releasing the Octo Expansion for Splatoon 2, a sizable single player update that will add on a new campaign. Splatoon 2 has already received excellent post-launch support as is, but the new expansion just further highlights Nintendo’s ongoing devotion to the franchise. Not a whole lot has been shown off for the Octo Expansion, despite its launch coming in just a few months, but that changed when Nintendo shared some new footage on Twitter today.
In the below tweet, you’ll see about a minute of a stage decorated with Gameboy Colors, as our octarian antihero flies around with an inkjet. It looks to be a bit more difficult than most levels in the base campaign, and the inclusion of continuous inkjet usage hopefully indicates that some creative challenges will lie in this 80 stage campaign.
What do you think? Will you be picking this up? What did you think of the base single player campaign? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

$20 for campaign?
Nahhh
Sweet!
Waaahuuuu yes
They really are pushing the inkjet's capacity to the max in this level, huh? Good. I'm curious to see what else they can pull out for this DLC with unique challenges. Will definitely get this, although I'm holding out for a few more weeks before preordering, because money.
I'm a SUCKA for FRESH new modes and levels in Splatoon so I'm sold!
I feel that this game's attention and popularity was stolen by Zelda and Mario. Yes, people are still playing it (which explains why it's being regularly updated), but whenever there is a conversation about must own games for the Switch, Splatoon 2 is almost always at the bottom of the list. It's a shame to be honest, this game is crazy fun and even has potential to become a popular esport in my opinion. I'm planning to get this DLC as I have a very bad internet connection at home which means I can't play anything online, so any new single player content is welcome.
Looks nice. Always thought a campaign similar to that found in the game "De Blob" would suit Splatoon.
This looks so cool! My preorder was not in vain! Everything about this screams "awesome." Can't wait; it's gonna be so rad!
This is epic! I always thought to myself that we don't get nearly enough time in matches to enjoy the specials. For obvious reasons. Not that I'm complaining though. Still, this seems like its gonna be great! 8D
@PaulDuran 20 bucks is the price of a pizza takeaway. Imean sure, if you think its expensive, more power to you. But keep in mind this'll last you longer and lead to much more fun all round.
@ThatNyteDaez
It looks interesting, but I'm definitely not getting it at launch.
Prob first watch some of other people's playthrough.
Honestly, I'm sure I'll cave in eventually.
Unlimited special does look pretty cool though.
I had never finished the original missions, but now I am working my way through them and loving it. No doubt splatoon 2 will be one of the drivers for the Nintendo online service...
So this level isn't timed? Whew, I was getting worried they were all timed.
@thiz The game-changer is in the league battle mode where there are objectives to meet and blind invasion won't work. Like sending a trojan tower to your foe's base — just killing people and defending your side won't win you the game, instead you must clear a path and advance the tower to secure a victory. Also there's a co-op mode called Salmon Run that hooked me in: Kill enough bosses and deposit eggs to reach quota while surviving the time limit with your team. Spraying ink around without killing enough; kill many bosses but not meeting the egg quota; or die without being revived (like the way you described the game as "spray, invade, die") won't work.
It's a fun competitive strategy game through and through and that's the appeal, that's the hype.
Can't wait for this!!!!
