Now, just a few months later, Nintendo has revealed exactly when: February 22, 2024.

In Side Order, Agent 8 will meet a new character named Acht, who claims to go &#8220;way back&#8221; with Marina, one of the hosts of Splatoon 2. Marina&#8217;s co-host, Pearl, seems to make an appearance of sorts in Side Order as a robot that accompanies Agent 8 on their journey.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>With the Spire of Order devoid of color, Acht gives Agent 8 color chips to modify their abilities, like boosting run speed and increasing damage. It&#8217;s likely Agent 8&#8217;s colored ink will be used to bring color back to the spire, too, but we&#8217;ll have to wait until February 22 to find out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/review\/splatoon-3\/multicolored-mayhem\">read&nbsp;<em>Game Informer&#8217;s&nbsp;<\/em>Splatoon 3 review<\/a>, and then <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/nintendo-direct\/2023\/02\/08\/splatoon-3-expansion-pass-brings-original-splatoon-content\">check out what else is in the Splatoon 3 expansion pass<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Are you going to check out Side Order next month?
