Yesterday (September 9th) was the 2nd Anniversary of Splatoon 3, and to celebrate, Nintendo and KADOKAWA Game Linkage announced the release of a second Original Soundtrack Album (Splatoon3 ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK -Ordertune-) and a second artbook (BancalaWalker Splatoon 3). Both will launch on December 11th in Japan, and are now available for pre-order.

BancalaWalker Splatoon 3

This second Artbook for Splaoon 3 is, supposedly, a reproduction of an actual magazine from the Splatlands (naturally, its contents were entirely translated into Japanese for people who can’t read the Inkling language). It mostly covers contents from the Expansion Pass, and especially the Side Order expansion. It even covers the Grand Festival!

And that’s not all: the BancalaWalker Splatoon 3 artbook also includes draft drawings of stages and characters, and an exclusive interview of Pearl and Marina.
