New Information about Splatoon 2's Octo Expansion
Splatoon 2's first paid DLC has been announced this past Nintendo Direct and features a single player story mode. Since then, new bits of information emerged on the official japanese Twitter account that have been translated courtesy of Siliconera. To summarize:
The protagonist of the expansion is called "Agent 8" or "No. 100008" who suffers from amnesia after a certain incident. She doesn't know who she is or what she is doing in the underground, but is accompanied by Capt’n Cuttlefish who is helping her getting out. The underground laboratory is the place were the story takes place. Nothing much is known about it and it appears to be closed off from the outside world as though time itself has stopped. The protagonist also gets help from Pearl and Marina via radio communication. There will be new tracks of the duo available and a secret story of their organization might be revealed.
The expansion features over 80 mission. Players who find them too tough can request help from Pearl and Marina to skip through stages and get right to the story. By clearing the Octo Expansion, players will get the option to switch between an Octoling and Inkling, although they will share equipment and have the same abilities.
The Octo Expansion is planned for a Summer 2018 release and will cost $19.99.
