Story

The player takes the role of Agent 8,(or #10008) an Octoling with amnesia who finds themself in a strange subway station connected to a series of research facilities deep underground.

Gameplay

Octo Expansion adds a new single-player campaign consisting of 80 levels. Off the Hook will support Agent 8 from above ground, and their help can be used to skip missions that are too difficult.

Each station has a Telephone, where Agent 8 can learn the details of the mission. The Telephone also provides Agent 8 with the CQ-80 device(a flat controller shaped like a submarine), used to navigate the underground; and a CQ Card, which is used to Store CQ Points.

Entering each mission costs a set amount of points, for 3 lives. The player can then choose between multiple challenges, each with a different weapon set. Depending on the weapon set chosen, a different amount of points is awarded (harder sets provide bigger rewards).

If the player loses all three lives, they may continue from the last checkpoint by paying more points, restart the level for free, abandon the level and return to the subway, or ask for help from Off the Hook to skip the level.

The normal Octarians from Octo Canyon are replaced with Sanitized Octarians, which are a distinctive shade of sickly green.

Enemy Octolings will be able to use more main weapons and special weapons, only seen in online multiplayer modes until now. For example, in the trailer, an enemy Octoling is shown chasing Agent 8 using an S2 Weapon Special Inkjet.png Inkjet. A select amount of levels will also be special only, meaning Agent 8's special bar will never go down.

After completing the campaign, players will be able to play as a male or female Octoling in multiplayer gameplay and customize them just like Inklings. Gear and weapons will be shared between the characters in the same account.

Characters

Gear

Trivia

The pre-purchase clothing from Splatoon Global Testfire
  • The expansion costs $19.99* in the US, €19.99 in the EU, £17.99* in the UK and ¥1800* in Japan. It is the first paid downloadable content announced for any game in the Splatoon series.
  • Studio Octophones and Octo Layered LS were available early by pre-purchasing Octo Expansion. This is a throwback to the initial Splatoon Global Testfire, where players who pre-purchased Splatoon during the event were given Studio Headphones and SUP000 a special squid-themed layered shirt.
