Interestingly, most additional content is already in Splatoon, waiting to be unlocked by Nintendo. There have been 9 new weapons, 4 new stages, 1 new mode category, and 2 new modes released thus far.

Existing DLC weapons:

Type Main Weapon Sub Weapon Special Weapon Description Release Date Weapon Image
Shooter N-Zap '85 Splat Bomb Echolocator Each shot is kind of weak, but the high rate of fire makes up for it. This weapon's popularity is due not only to its helpful special but also to its snazzy futuristic design. June 1st, 2015 File:Weapon Main N-ZAP '85.png
Roller Inkbrush Sprinkler Inkstrike A newly developed weapon with high mobility and a sturdy brush design. Its ink trail is narrow, but it paints the ground at incredible speed and delivers swift close-range attacks. June 5th, 2015 File:Weapon Main Inkbrush.png
Shooter Splash-o-matic Suction Bomb Bomb Rush One for the pros. Not outrageously powerful, but highly accurate. This weapon really comes into its own in the hands of someone with good aim. June 13th, 2015 File:Weapon Main Splash-o-matic.png
Charger Custom E-Liter 3K Squid Beakon Kraken A special version of the E-Liter 3K that enables new strategies using the Squid Beakon and the powerful Kraken. June 17, 2015 File:Weapon Main Custom E-liter 3K.png

Roller Carbon Roller Burst Bomb Inkzooka A strong, lightweight roller made from carbon fibre. Superb mobility means it spreads ink and delivers attacks with unparalleled speed. June 27, 2015 File:Weapon Main Carbon Roller.png
Shooter Custom Dual Squelcher Squid Beakon Killer Wail A very special Dual Squelcher. The teammate-deploying Squid Beakon and cover-penetrating Killer Wail ensure you'll be a contributing factor. June 27, 2015 File:Weapon Main Custom Dual Squelcher.png
Shooter Sploosh-o-matic Squid Beakon Killer Wail The perfect weapon for getting up close and personal! High attack power and rate of fire, but its range is extremely limited. July 7, 2015 File:Weapon Main Sploosh-o-matic.png
Shooter .96 Gal Deco Splash Wall Kraken A bedazzled .96 Gal shooter. Splat your opponents through the included Splash Wall, or engage them up close and personal with the Kraken. Versatility is the name of the game. July 7, 2015 File:Weapon Main .96 Gal Deco.png
Shooter N-ZAP '89 Sprinkler Inkstrike A follow-up to the N-ZAP '85, now with a sleek orange paint job. The sub and special have changed too, but its popularity remains as high as ever. July 18, 2015 File:Weapon Main N-ZAP '89.png
Roller Octobrush Squid Beakon Kraken A heavier brush with fatter bristles. Uses a lot of ink but offers a wider ink trail and excellent mobility. Can be swung to fling large globs of ink. July 18, 2015 File:Weapon Main Octobrush.png

Existing DLC modes/mode categories:

Name Type Weapons Controllers Release Date Image
Ranked Battle Online multiplayer mode category All GamePad width=auto June 1st, 2015 File:WiiU Splatoon 25 RankUp EN.jpg
Ranked Battle is a category of modes in Splatoon. It is accessible by level 10 and higher players. The modes included in this category require a higher level of strategy compared to regular modes, and wins and losses are counted toward players' ranks. Players begin with a 'C-' rating, but are able to improve by winning matches. Ranked Battle was released when a large amount of players reached level 10.
Splat Zones Online multiplayer Ranked Battle mode All GamePad width=auto June 1st, 2015 File:WiiU Splatoon 21 SplatZones EN.jpg
In Splat Zones, teams battle it out for control of the stage's Splat Zones. Every stage has 1 or 2 Splat Zones. Cover a Splat Zone with ink to take control of it. Then try to keep it in your control for as long as possible! The timer starts once you gain control of all the Splat Zones. When your team's timer reaches 0, you win! But lose control of a single Splat Zone and the timer will stop. There's a penalty for losing all of the Splat Zones to the enemy... So guard them with all your might! If the battle ends without a winner... the team with the lowest count on their timer wins the match! In this mode, Battle Points are awarded based on your timer. Pro tip: if you lose control of a Splat Zone... wait for your team to regroup instead of trying to be a hero.
Tower Control Online multiplayer Ranked Battle mode All GamePad width=auto July 1st, 2015 File:Tower Control splatoon tumblr.png
In Tower Control, two teams of four Inklings fight to control a central Tower. The Tower is a tall, blue structure with ink-able walls and a grate platform for players to stand on. When a player reaches the top of the Tower, it will begin moving on a rail toward enemy territory. If the player standing on the Tower falls off the platform or gets killed, after a short amount of time, the Tower will begin moving rapidly back to the center. Because of this gameplay element, the player on the Tower is a constant target and must be guarded by teammates on the ground.
