When's the Pearl DLC for Mario Kart?

Pearl would be the Splatoon character in the small size, Marina in the large size, existing inklings stay medium.

Also in today's direct they mentioned a new ranking, Rank X, which seems to kick in above S+10 and has some different matchmaking?

Pearl and Marina's new outfits in that trailer look awesome. Also happy to see more creature types and levels and I really liked the song playing and everything about this is amazing.

I guess I'm playing Splatoon forever again.

I was happy about just playable Octolings finally but that new single player mode looks awesome too. I’m glad the game is still getting huge DLC a year later.

That trailer for the expansion was so sick. I didn't expect it at all but I'm really glad they're doing more with the single player, it's super solid and I wanted more of it. Those levels looked crazy too

New Single-Player Expansion Coming to Splatoon 2: The first paid DLC is coming to Splatoon 2 this summer. Splatoon 2: Octo Expansion adds a hefty new single-player mode that lets players play as new character Agent 8, an Octoling (!) with lost memories. The new single-player campaign features 80 missions, as well as new stories that shed new light on beloved characters. Players that complete the Octo Expansion campaign will unlock the ability to play as Octolings in multiplayer battles. While Splatoon 2: Octo Expansion launches this summer, players can pre-purchase the DLC starting today in Nintendo eShop to immediately receive Octo-themed in-game gear to use in battle right away. (The full version of the game is required to use DLC.)

Splatoon 1 and 2 had 32 stages each. :stare:

I'm gonna guess they're counting weapon alternates as distinct missions because 80 Splatoon levels is pretty bonkers

If Cuttlefish is hanging out underground, I wonder how Agent 3 will be involved in the campaign.

While we can salivate on the upcoming single player expansion, there's still stuff coming in the shorter period with the 3.0 update coming late April. That's soon.
  • Some old and new stages: Splatoon 1 staples Piranha Pit, Camp Triggerfish and a new stage called Wahoo World.
  • Hundreds of new pieces of gear to wear.
  • New weapons, of course.
  • And probably some tweaks and stuff.

Oh, and apparently it was suggested that more is to come. They're not over this game for some time.

I assume that Agent 3 is the Inlking at the end of the train the octoling is walking down.

Yeah, that's her. That's the exact outfit used for the player character in the single player campaign. And she was mentioned to be on a trip with Cuttlefish in the sunken scrolls.

Also, :supaburn:. Those mad men. They finally did it. Playable Octolings and Inklings in Smash!

They also said that this was the first paid expansion. They're gonna be supporting this baby for quite some time, huh? I guess it's safe to say the content schedule expanded beyond a year for this game.
