== Wave 1: Inkopolis ==
[[File:Splatoon 3 Expansion Pass Inkopolis Promotional Image.jpg|thumb|Promotional image for Inkopolis]] [[File:S3 Inkopolis.png|thumb|Inkopolis Plaza in {{S3}}]]

{{Quote|Make Inkopolis from the first Splatoon game your stomping (err...splatting?) grounds with the first wave of the Splatoon 3 Expansion Pass paid DLC! Another major metropolis of the Splatoon universe, Inkopolis has changed a bit in the past several years with some new shopkeepers. Ready to jam? Then come to Inkopolis to see some fresh Squid Sisters performances during Splatfests.|eShop description}}

Wave 1 was released on {{date|2023-02-28}} and added [[Inkopolis Plaza]] from {{S}} as an alternate [[hub]] world accessible via the subway station found in [[Splatsville]]. From here, players have access to services as they originally appeared in ''[[Splatoon]]'', including [[Ammo Knights]], [[Cooler Heads]], [[Jelly Fresh]], [[Shrimp Kicks]], and [[Spyke]], although they share the same lineup as their Splatsville counterparts. Certain shops are run by new characters. Additionally, the [[Squid Sisters]] perform ''[[City of Color (2023)]]'' in concerts during the first half of [[Splatfest]]s and sing ''[[Tomorrow's Nostalgia Today]]'' during the second half, both while wearing their original outfits from ''Splatoon''.

Additionally, the [[Great Zapfish]] can be seen atop [[Inkopolis Tower]] and the [[amiibo]] box retains its functionality. Other features from {{S3}} have also been added, such as a [[Grizzco Industries]] building and a [[Tableturf Battle Dojo]] hidden behind several buildings. The grate leading to [[Octo Valley (location)|Octo Valley]] is blocked off by a tire and a stack of boxes, the [[arcade machine]] is covered up and replaced with a terminal to remotely access [[Hotlantis]], and the [[Battle Dojo]] has been replaced by a branch of [[the Shoal]].

{{Quote|A new single-player campaign called Side Order super jumps to the Splatoon 3 game in the second wave of this DLC. See what has become of Inkopolis Square, the central area featured in the Splatoon 2 game!|eShop description}}

{{main|Side Order}}

Wave 2: ''Side Order'' is a new single-player campaign mode<ref>[https://www.nintendo.com/store/products/splatoon-3-expansion-pass-switch/ {{NES}} ''Splatoon™ 3'' Expansion Pass for Nintendo Switch - Nintendo Official Site]</ref> that will be released in Spring 2024, featuring [[Agent 8]], returning from the {{OE}}. The campaign is set in [[Inkopolis Square]] that has been mysteriously drained of its color, while [[Deca Tower]] has been transformed into the [[Spire of Order]] and the Great Zapfish is absent from its resting spot.

[[Off the Hook]] play a major role in the campaign, with the player being accompanied by the [[Pearl]] Drone, and [[Acht]] also appears as a major character. Gameplay is designed to be played repeatedly and utilizes new mechanics such as [[palette]]s and [[color chip]]s to vary the player's abilities while battling new enemies.
