Splatoon 3: Side Order is a 2024 downloadable content (DLC) expansion pack for the single-player mode of Splatoon 3 (2022), a third-person shooter video game developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch. Side Order follows an Octoling named Agent 8, the protagonist of Splatoon 2: Octo Expansion (2018), who finds themselves trapped in the featureless Memverse, a virtual reality created by Marina of the duo Off the Hook. Accompanied by a drone version of Marina's co-star Pearl, Agent 8 uncovers Order, a rogue artificial intelligence who threatens to forcefully abduct souls from the outside world to remove their free will and instigate a world of pure orderliness. With the assistance of Marina, Pearl, and another victim named Acht, Agent 8 journeys up a thirty-floor spire to destroy Order. Development began shortly after the release of Splatoon 3 in 2022. The DLC's art direction was inspired the concept of "order" to contrast Splatoon 3's emphasis on "chaos". The team sought to reinvent the traditional structure of Splatoon single-player campaigns, such as having the player's character's death force the loss of all progress from their current climb, and granting the ability to purchase upgrades to ease future attempts. Side Order received favorable reviews from critics, with praise given to its art direction and integration of Splatoon's gameplay mechanics into the roguelite genre. Some were displeased with a perceived lack of level diversity over time.
