The new Inkopolis DLC for Splatoon 3 is now available via Update v3.0.0. This DLC includes the familiar Inkopolis Square from the original game but with noticeable changes.
Inkopolis now has new shopkeepers: Shelly, Donny, and Fred Crumbs. Players who want to get the best shoes in town can visit Fred Crumbs in his shop aptly named Shrimp Kicks. Shelly and Donny, found in their store called Ammo Knights, can hook players up with some new weapons. Players might mistake them for Sheldon but they are cuter and more baby-like.
Update v3.0.0 also includes the new Pool Feature. This allows players to send and receive notifications with others in the same pool.
Changelog
- Players who have purchased the Splatoon 3: Expansion Pass – Inkopolis & Side Order DLC can now travel between Inkopolis and Splatsville using the train station in the square.

- While there isn’t a limit on how many people can join the same Pool, there may be cases in which notifications won’t be sent to all members if a large number of players are connected to the same Pool simultaneously.
- When you receive an invitation to play or a “Fresh!” notification, it will be displayed on the screen.
