It’s been a little over two months since Splatoon 3 was released worldwide, and so far, no additional content had been released. But the Squid Research Lab did promise that new content would be added to the game on a regular basis, which means that there’s definitely something on the way.

Fortunately for Inklings and Octolings all over the world, the wait is almost over with today’s announcement of the Chill Season for Splatoon 3, which is set to kick off on December 1st worldwide.

What can you expect from the Chill Season? Two new stages, some new weapons, new Gear, a new event, X Battles, and more.
