Play-Asia has opened pre-orders for the Splatoon 2: Off The Hook Live in Makuhari CD, which was just announced earlier this week. It will be sold in standard and limited edition variants.

The CD features music from Pearl and Marina’s performance at Game Party Japan 2019, including additional tracks not found in the previous two Splatoon 2 albums.
