One of the main announcements that came out from the latest Nintendo Direct is Splatoon 2’s first paid downloadable content, **Octo Expansion**.

Scheduled to launch sometime in the summer, the upcoming DLC is priced at $19.99 and requires the full version of the game; it can’t be purchased as a standalone title. Octo Expansion consists of a new single-player campaign and new stories that are meant to shed new light on characters from the game.

Very fresh right? But seriously who would not like more single player Splatoon 2 goodness.
