Dedf1sh (or Acht, whatever you wanna call her.) looks exactly as they do on the Dedf1sh Album Cover Thingy, it took my brain a while to realize it was a 3D Model, that's how good it was!

I can’t wait for this to come out, Octo Expansion is one of my favorite experiences in gaming as a whole. And seeing Eight, Pearl, and Marina back gives me hope that this will be a great follow up to Octo Expansion. Also seeing Deadf1sh/Acht is really cool since she’s been relegated to the album covers which haven’t been officially translated to English yet. I hope we will actually touch on the story implications of Sanitization, and the fall of Kamabo Co. I’m really hyped for the story, the animations and little bit of story we’ve seen so far really looks like a step up when compared to Octo Expansion. Seeing as in Octo Expansion the story was mostly relegated to chat messages until around the end of the game where it became the center focus. For most of the DLC it wasn’t even really expanded upon, we got a lot of character interactions, some hints of character backstories and the meeting/formation of Off the Hook. But beyond that the story of the expansion, one of the main draws, was almost entirely relegated to external media, and what little was there at the end was changed drastically with the English localization to the point where certain characters and motivations were almost unrecognizable. Same thing happened to a slightly lesser extent with the story of Splatoon 3 but it still got the general idea across. And in regards to the story, if you pay close attention to the end of the trailer, you can hear the same sounds that were in Splatoon 1’s story mode before you fought a boss. I hope we can get some more information on that because it’s both creepy and interesting, and considering we’re going back to the Plaza we should be nearby Octo Canyon/Valley which is where the sounds were heard. Speaking of the Plaza, it looks so different after the Final Fest, it wouldn’t surprise me if we’re somehow in someone’s mind and are traveling through memories. Or maybe considering the presence of Acht, we could be going through the Sanitized ink and as such we’re seeing things that aren’t real. The gameplay looks like a departure from the normal loop, with that heavily expanded upgrade system, to the new movement abilities like gliding with Pearl’s machine, and the fact that we get to see damage numbers. This indicates to me that it’s going to be a tougher challenge this time, and that we’re going to be starting out really weak to build ourselves up. Considering that Shinya Takahashi said the goal is to make it endlessly replayable, I don’t doubt that it will have rouge-like elements to it. I hope that doesn’t mean the levels will be procedurally generated, and instead that they will be something you can play in whatever order you want, something similar to Return of the Mamalians or Octo Expansion. Another problem I would like them to address is challenge and reward, Octo Expansion has a lot of good challenging levels, but there isn’t really much of an incentive to take the challenge, you don’t get anything of real value for completing the harder levels in the hardest way. It’s a problem that carried over to Splatoon 3’s Hero Mode, one that with the way the team handles game design, I don’t know if they have any way to solve. But if this is a rouge-like, the problem might solve itself, if by completing harder challenges you get better/stronger rewards it would make it worth it to do. I can only hope the game will be challenging and worthwhile. How does everyone else feel about it? Do you have any solutions? Or anything to add in regards to the story, and the implications of the audio they used? What about thoughts on finally seeing Deadf1sh in game? That got me really excited seeing as they’re taking more elements from external media and aren’t ignoring them in favor of something new. I also can’t help but wonder how this ties into the “Order” side of the Finalfest, and I feel like this new Spire of Order is in someway connected to the Shifty Stations from Splatoon 2’s Splatfests, considering how it looks inside, and it’s connection to Marina.

LOOKS SO GOOD SO EXCITED OMGGG

Can't wait for it to be out spring 2024 I love that peal returns as a flying robot

The fact that Dedf1sh is going to be a character in this, is genuinely so amazing to see. She's actually been a very important part of the Octo Expansion lore, and I'm so excited to see where her story goes, as i was always intrigued by her.

I really want those Dualies in Multi-player. They look so nice.

Missed it when they let us have hero weapons if we complete a certain amount of story mode levels like in splat 1 and 2

@@SaltyToad00 The Inkling Girl and Boy amiibos had challenges where you used the Hero Roller or Hero Charger depending on which amiibo it was. Beating all of their challenges rewarded you with a blueprint to earn a replica of those weapons. The Squid Amiibo functioned similarly but with timed Kraken challenges or limited ink challenges, and beating all of them rewarded you with the Hero Shot Replica.

I'm sure they'll let us have a replica of them after we beat the story or get to a certain point. They did that with the hero weapons in the main campaigns of all three games I think, and Octo Expansion gave you the Octo Shot. They'll probably let us have the Dualies too

Man this is a rougelike splatoon DLC with replay value from the amount of customization from the abilities you choose!

@cocoacave2474

​@@MarieFanYt A very common genre Usually you start at the first level with 0 weapons and abilities and as you go foward, you unlock more and more weapons and abilites. If you die you have to start at the bottom again. Most roguelikes are randomized to keep things fresh each run.

1:17 I just noticed this now. Pause when the cursor goes over Run Speed Up. It says "Increaces movement speed in inkling or octoling form." *inkling or octoling*

The ending theme song for Octo Expansion still lives rent free in my mind to this day

This looks awesome! Definitely changed from what it looked like from the trailer, thanks again Nintendo!❤

This looks AMAZING! Also I was not expecting Deadf1sh to make an appearance as a character! 😮

Esto si que promete mucho. El escenario y el ambiente es algo unico, me gusta.

Am I the only one that noticed that at 1:14 instead of the surrounding of agent’s eight suction cup is a different colour to her actual ink colour?

Never thought I'd see the day where Splatoon becomes a roguelike, but honestly? I'm so down for this, I feel the mechanics would work awesome for it!

I very interested of the bosses Is not like octo expansion when you just copy and paste then make it harder

ive rewatched this like 7 times already

As a guy who liked Team Order in Final Fest of Splatoon 2, this Side Order truly does describe Pearl's chaos after she won 2's final Splatfest. This looks insanely cool and love the new enemy designs. Octolings, just face it, they have the cooler deeper stories. Agent 8, get ready for me to take on Pearl's secret chaos, because we making it out of Inkopolis Plaza with this one.

What actually creeps me out about the dlc is the music. In the hero modes, it was action packed, and octo expansion was the same. This music is.....creepy. It's ambient, oddly soothing, and just glitchy enough to make my skin crawl. The enemies looks super weird too. Everything feels off-putting in the best possible way.

I can’t wait!! I love the monochrome theme of this DLC.

The graphics are ON POINT 👌

I'm in love with the details and everything else!

amazing cant wait to see this in game

This gives off portal vibes so much. This doesn’t even look like splatoon at all. This DLC is going to be INSANE.

This DLC is gonna be one of my favorites from any game, can't wait to play this!

It’s 2024 everyone. We’re so close. Get hype.

I've watched the trailer multiple times!!

This looks absolutely stunning its giving me animus vibes I cant wait to to play it and omg the cutscene animations look so good I can definitely see myself looking back at this in a few years

Would've been great to get an actual release date, but at least those that wanted Order to win the Final Fest are technically getting their wish!

This is probably the best way to do this for Splatoon onward. The winning team of the final splatfest determines the theme of the next game while the losing team gets to be the basis for the DLC story.

@@CindyHelms That said, if Nintendo does use this formula onward, does that mean the theoretical Splatoon 4 will get two DLC stories? I feel like in future titles, they should stick with the two-party set, otherwise things just get complicated. Personal nitpick of mine, the tricolor battle should have just been three teams of four in a unique stage duking it out.

@@AzureMoebius22 they could have it so it's the winner that gets the main story, second place gets the DLC, and third place gets nothing… it would entice people to actually play the Splatfests, and so players don't try cheesing it like they did back in Splatoon 1…

I do like how the ink colors are actually muted They're not as vibrant compared to OE or just main story

I'm a big splatoon fan, and have been since splat 1. I'm genuinely excited for this.

Looks amazing

It might be infinite floor mode because you can see the "highest floor" here 1:15 or maybe after finishing the story

Someone needs to rip this theme ASAP, it cannot wait. 0:22-0:23 is my favorite bit 0:17 Is that a Tentacle mem-cake?

I cannot wait to play Side Order, I adore that cute agent 8. ❤ LET’S FREAKING GO! 10/10 - It’s gonna be the best DLC ever.
