Splatoon 3: Expansion Pass is paid downloadable content for Splatoon 3. The bundle consists of battle-boosting bonuses, Wave 1 - Inkopolis and Wave 2 - Side Order. It was revealed during the 8 February 2023 Nintendo Direct.

Inkopolis was released on 28 February 2023 at 01:00 UTC along with the Version 3.0.0 update, while Side Order will be released on 22 February 2024.

Battle-boosting bonuses

The battle-boosting bonuses as they are awarded in-game

“	When you purchase Splatoon™ 3 Expansion Pass, whether in advance or after launch, you'll receive immediate access to additional in-game currency, plus food and drink tickets.	”
— eShop description

Included in the bundle are bonuses consisting of  123,000, three tickets for Pescatariat Royales, one ticket for each of the fourteen available drinks, and a banner of the Squid Sisters. A banner of Off the Hook was later added in version 5.0.1.

Pre-ordering the DLC awarded the bonuses to the player immediately. After the DLC's launch, they are received upon purchase. The bonuses can be picked up via the Lobby Terminal.

These bonuses were added to the game when pre-orders were made available in Version 2.1.1, though the Squid Sisters banner was not added until Wave 1 released in Version 3.0.0 and the Off the Hook banner came with the 5.0.1 update shortly after the showcase of the second trailer for Wave 2.

Inkopolis Plaza in Splatoon 3

“	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 28 February 2023 and added Inkopolis Plaza from Splatoon 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 Splatfests 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 Splatoon 3 have also been added, such as a Grizzco Industries building and a Tableturf Battle Dojo hidden behind the Booyah Base. The grate leading to 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.

“	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 article: Side Order

Wave 2: Side Order is a new single-player campaign mode that released on 22 February 2024, featuring Agent 8, returning from the Octo Expansion. The campaign is set in the Order Sector, and features the Spire of Order, a tall tower that resembles Deca Tower, but devoid of life.

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 palettes and color chips to vary the player's abilities while battling new enemies.
