The much-anticipated Splatoon 2 DLC is fast approaching, and eager fans are desperate for the chance to dive into it. We’ve had several inside peeks and demonstrations at this point, and one thing’s for sure: the level design in this single-player expansion is wild.

The Splatoon 2 team have been working all kinds of overtime of late. Much like the original Wii U title, the game has been enjoying a steady stream of post-launch support, in the form of timed events, new weapons and other updates. Earlier this month, we see the first tournament-style Splatfest take place in the West, which scientifically determined (over the course of three rounds) that Donatello is the greatest of the Ninja Turtles.

Splatoon 2 is perhaps the most significant part of Nintendo Switch’s competitive multiplayer line up. The MCM London Comic Con staged a tournament for the game last weekend, and another is going to appear right alongside Super Smash Bros Switch at E3 this year. You don’t have to be a tournament pro, however, to know that online multiplayer is clearly the focus of the game.

The game does sport a single-player mode, but it’s not the most robust. As with a lot of shooters, there’s a sense that it’s there just for the sake of having it there, a kind of glorified tutorial. This is an itch that the extensive-looking Octo Expansion aims to scratch, and in a big way.

The game’s first paid DLC package offers around 80 levels, following the story of an enigmatic Octoling named Agent Eight. We’ve already seen the dank, underground facility she’s trying to escape from, and the dark tone that the whole campaign takes, but what’s remained largely under wraps is the content of the levels themselves.

Lately, though, Nintendo have been giving us snapshots of stages far more creative and varied than those of the main game’s campaign itself. Check out Swass 8-Ball Station, which Nintendo revealed earlier this week:

Couple that with other footage we’ve seen, such as this trickshot-based stage, and you can see why Nintendo Life are comparing Octo Expansion’s levels to the shrines of Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
