Splatoon 3 is celebrating its second anniversary with a couple of announcements – specifically the Ordertune soundtrack and BancalaWalker art book. Both are releasing in Japan on December 11, 2024.

First up, the Splatoon 3 Ordertune soundtrack contains four CDs. You’ll get all of the music from the Expansion Pass here, including tunes made for Side Order. Plus, it comes with all the tracks from Free Association that plays in the Side Order DLC, “Unconscience”, “Short Order”, “Spectrum Obligato ~ Ebb & Flow (Out of Order)”, special tracks from the Grand Festival, and everything that played during the Splatoon 3 Live Concert featuring Deep Cut which has been newly remixed and remastered.

With Splatoon 3’s Grand Festival coming up soon, we figured now would be a good time to make a guide on sub weapons aimed at casual or former players who might be returning to play the event.

If you haven’t played much of Splatoon 3 just yet (somehow), there are tons of sub weapons available in the game that each serve a different purpose. Some are area-of-effect damage-rackers, while others are purely defensive or for support. Still, how well you use your subs can make or break individual games. Some are better than others, too, so we’ll be going over what each one does, tips for using them, and how to counter other players using them against you.

At the time of writing, Splatoon 3 has reached its final “new” season – that is to say, there presumably won’t be any more feature updates that add new gear, emotes, and the like. That said, the game rotated between several different catalogs, some of which do have exclusive gear, and it’s possible that some of you are still missing out on catalog-only content. As the game starts to pick up for the last time just before the Grand Festival, we figured it’d be a good time to list off some tips and tricks to maxing out your catalog as soon as possible.

At the time of writing, Splatoon 3’s Grand Festival is less than a month away. Though technically not quite confirmed to be the last Splatfest, it’s at least heavily implied to be. If that winds up being the case, then it’ll be the end of Splatoon 3’s two-year content cycle. There’s a lot to talk about with this game, and with its end potentially approaching, we figured it’d be a good time to take a look at everything Splatoon 3 has had to offer over the past few years – as well as some ways the series can improve with a potential Splatoon 4.

No Western release has currently been announced by Nintendo’s Western accounts but will no doubt be forthcoming. The Side Order Set will contain figures of Pearl and Marina, and the Alterna Set is for Callie and Marie.

We actually received some information about the existence of these amiibo in a datamine some time ago, although this didn’t completely confirm their existence.
