During a recent interview with Famitsu, Hisashi Nogami, the producer of the Splatoon saga, made some revelations about the game’s upcoming DLC The Tower of Order. The gameplay of this new single-player campaign is completely redesigned for this DLC, offering players a completely new and different experience than what they have known before.
In this DLC, players can rediscover Chromapolis from a new angle and see Tentacool, Pearl, and Marine all over again, in a world where order, not chaos, would have won the last festival splatoon 2.
In the trailer for Tower of Order, the second DLC of the Splatoon 3 Expansion Pass, we could see the Tentacools and Octolings.
Nogami: Yes. As everyone has guessed, the squid and the octolings will make an appearance. We can’t give any details yet, but the Calaamazones will be part of a new story. We also plan to completely redesign and change the gameplay for this DLC. You should look forward to playing him.
I wondered if the world would be like this if there was order won Splatoon 2 Final Festival.
Inoue: Yes. We didn’t make that decision from the start, but when we laid out the plans for the Expansion Pass we thought it would be interesting to create a world where the Order team would triumph.
By the way, is it Agent 8, the Octoling from the trailer?
Satou: That…needs some research.
I understand… ! So tell us why Chromapolis was brought back in Wave 1 of the Expansion Pass.
Inoue: A lot of people started playing this series at 2 or 3, and while they knew 1, we wanted to show those who had never played it what Chromapolis is like and how the Calaamazones are at work.
Has the new Chromapolis been designed to reflect the seven years since the release of Splatoon 1?
Inoue: Yes. Just as a place where you’ve lived can change a little after seven years, we made sure to make you feel like you’re returning to your hometown after a while. It feels like things have changed, but a lot has stayed the same. I think despite the nostalgia you will see some realistic changes that have taken place such as the train station finally being accessible.
If The Tower of Order hasn’t announced the release date yet, there’s no doubt that this interview in Famitsu is just to lift the spirits ahead of a release… in the coming weeks?
