Splatoon

Splatoon Guía y cronología

Inklings turn a city block into a contest over colour, covering the ground in ink and slipping through it to outmanoeuvre rivals. Nintendo's Splatoon mixes competitive matches with pop music, changing fashions and an unexpectedly extensive history beneath the surface. Its campaigns, story expansions and spin-offs explore different corners of that world.

The groups separate base games from campaigns and a spin-off. They do not divide Splatoon into two separate canons.

Overview & recommendation

Splatoon is immediately understandable as a contest over painted ground, but its solo stories reveal more of the world behind the teams, music and changing cities. A main-game tour lets those introductions build while leaving room for whichever multiplayer experience interests you.

The expansions are deliberately listed as their own campaigns. Octo Expansion belongs with Splatoon 2 and Side Order with Splatoon 3; the latter is one campaign within an Expansion Pass, not the whole pass made into another story. Raiders is a spin-off choice rather than a fourth numbered base game in disguise.

Use the main-game sequence for a retrospective, then insert the named campaigns after their related base games. If competitive play is your main interest, choose by the version and available features you want rather than treating the oldest releases as story prerequisites for every match.

Base Games and Their Other Adventures Mainline games, campaigns and a spin-off

The distinction is one of entry type. Main releases establish the setting while the expansion and spin-off group offers different single-player perspectives within its wider context.

  • Mainline Ink Wars (3 entries)

    The numbered Splatoon base games, introducing successive competitive experiences and their setting; associated story campaigns are listed in the other group.

  • Expansions & Spin-Offs (3 entries)

    Octo Expansion, Side Order and the Raiders spin-off. These are campaign and format choices, not proof of a separate canon; Side Order is one campaign within its pass.

Follow each main game's introduction before its associated campaign. Filtering to only the main group would hide the separately listed expansions.

Frequently asked questions 6 answers

Is Side Order the complete Splatoon 3 Expansion Pass?

It is the separately tracked story campaign inside that pass. The campaign's narrative scope should not be confused with every item sold under the pass name.
