To kick off the latest Nintendo Direct, Nintendo confirmed the Splatoon 3 story DLC 'Side Order' would be arriving in Spring 2024.

That's not all though - the game's just been updated to Version 5.0.1. It's obviously not as big as the 5.0.0 update, but there are still some DLC adjustments and fixes.

Fixes to Multiplayer

  • Fixed an issue in Wahoo World that prevented Zipcaster users from sticking to parts of the terrain in the center of the stage.
  • Fixed an issue in Shipshape Cargo Co. that sometimes caused players to be submerged in water when landing on certain spots on the stage.
