Last year’s award-winning multiplayer game by Nintendo, Splatoon 3, had a big shortcoming according to the fans. While the game’s Overworld was filled with charm and personality, unfortunately, all of it was only for show, as none of the set pieces in that world were interactable or explorable. 

This left a sour taste among the fans who expressed their distaste on social media platforms. Finally, Nintendo heard the fans and with the upcoming expansion pack, offers an intractable Hub World aka the Inkopolis from the original Splatoon game where players will be able to explore, meet other players, and perform a lot of other activities.

During the recently wrapped Nintendo Direct, the Japanese gaming juggernaut made the fans elated with one-after-one announcements regarding the upcoming games and projects. In the showcase, they announced some of the most anticipated titles, such as Metroid, Mario Kart, and Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. 

Splatoon fans weren’t left behind at all as the beloved third game of the franchise was announced to get the much-awaited expansion DLC that will bring the players back to the ink-filled world where it all began. The iconic Inkopolis from the very first game in the series. This new expansion will offer the players a brand new Hub World.
