Play as a boy or a girl in Splatoon 2: Octo Expansion

In Splatoon 2: Octo Expansion, Nintendo will allow players to choose a gender. The option is presented at the start of the campaign.

Of course, the gender option carries over to multiplayer as well. Once the DLC launches, you’ll be able to choose between male and female version of the Octolings or Inklings.
