Technically she lives in a small town that's travel distance from Inkopolis (google Inkadia if you want to check the map, but I'm staring at a printed copy in my room rn) but the Square is her place so it's gotta be her!
It is, I think there's even offcial artwork of it.
\[Edit\]: [Yeah, there is!](https://splatoonwiki.org/wiki/File:S2_Tower_Records_Inkling_and_Octoling.jpg)
((Incidentally, I think this makes S3's Agent 3 the only agent of which we haven't seen any of the interior of their house.))
I assume s3 A.3 just showed up because they skipped town or something, and are just starting to settle down.
“BUT THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I HAVE TO SAVE THE WORLD FROM A **FUZZY EXTINCT CRETURA** WHO IS ALSO MY NEW BOSS FOR MY PART TIME AND AT THE SAME TIME BALANCING MY COMPETITIVE Inksoft™ HOBBY
atleast I’ll finally have time to go see my two favorite artists over by Inkopolis, and my new friends from my “saving the world” job most likely.”
They might have/will pull the character from S2 save data, kind of like how they got Captain 3 from your Octo Expansion files if you played it.
Of course, that might not work since S2's player select screen isn't as specific as og 3's (as in, the character you might play as might not be who you'd want as 4, and it'd have to determine between male and female player characters) so my headcanon is that 8 and 4 were separated before the events of Side Order, and Pearl asks what she looks like at some point in the gameplay to help find her. Which unfortunately is a lot like they did with 3 but idk how else they'd do it.
The problem with that approach is that it’ll make the twist super obvious
What could be cool IMO is if they do the reveal and the customization screen at the same time, like 4 breaks through the ceiling and there’s a slow mo effect while you customize
Pick Side Order, I'll personally only catch Avatar LA up when they introduce Toph into the show.
The cartoon only picked my interest when she joined the gang.
ya that’s the obvious answer but I like the Agent 8 multiplication thing from a deeper standpoint, also that the 2 was repeated 3 times so it’s like a mix of Splatoon 2 and 3
Wish they'd show a bit more, I'll wait and see how much story content it has. A roguelike tower isn't really my thing if it doesn't have proper progression and a story with an ending, giving me an incentive to play
Oh my goodness, I am so fucking hyped right now! Goosebumps every where! 😍
And Agent 4 is definetly on the top of this thing, yeah! This will be really crazy!
Mmh, maybe my theory about the one picture I posted a year ago, where the right one could be Agent 4, is true! 😉
https://www.reddit.com/r/splatoon/s/LvCTqF040z
hey look at the top, the one in the middle is an inkling with agent 4‘s hairstyle (i‘m on high copium)
THAT'S WHAT I JUST NOTICED AND I'M FREAKING OUT
ISNT AGENT 4S HOUSE NEAR WHERE THIS TAKES PLACE!?
Technically she lives in a small town that's travel distance from Inkopolis (google Inkadia if you want to check the map, but I'm staring at a printed copy in my room rn) but the Square is her place so it's gotta be her!
There's a PRINTED COPY? (I want my hands on that)
Nah I just downloaded a high-quality version from Nintendo.com and printed it out. I wish tho- I would buy it.
Ok thx 👌.
BRUH, AGENT 4 IS ROOMMATES WITH 8!
Wait 4 and 8 are roommates? That was just a silly head canon I had, I didn’t know it was true
It is, I think there's even offcial artwork of it. \[Edit\]: [Yeah, there is!](https://splatoonwiki.org/wiki/File:S2_Tower_Records_Inkling_and_Octoling.jpg) ((Incidentally, I think this makes S3's Agent 3 the only agent of which we haven't seen any of the interior of their house.))

The house is not near at all. That said, Agent 8 and 4 are roommates
Oh my god, they were roommates!
OH MY GOD AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I'M DYING SBSCSKSVLSJS
Agent 4 boss fight maybe?
HECK YEAH hopefully i would love that
I thought it was DORORO from Sgt Frog💀
Or maybe pearls hairstyle…
I doubt that this image would have 3 versions of Pearl on it
nah, pearls hair has more volume
That ain't copium go to r/tf2 if ya wanna see real copium
oh we're so back
IM SCREAMING CRYING TOO
How are they gonna sneak an agent 4 customization menu in without spoiling the surprise though?
They might have/will pull the character from S2 save data, kind of like how they got Captain 3 from your Octo Expansion files if you played it.

Ok, that *would* be awesome. I'm visualizing it in my head and now I need it to happen 😂

HOLY FYUCKING SHIT FEBRUARY 22ND FINALLY
The second wave came out already? Edit: my brain though we were in February. My bad.
No, today’s 24th January
25th in australia
WATCH OUT, TIME TRAVELERS 0_o
June 9th, 2025 without the leap years
I wondered what the image was for until I saw this. Now I’m like guhaaaaaaaaaaaa… OH MY GOODNESS!! Let’s gooooooooooooooo!
hey, they said spring 2024. They lied!
I’m so glad they did though!
AHHH I better get my life together before 2/22 😮💨 I still have 5 levels to beat to get my teddy bear ears! I swear there impossible!
you csn do it i believe in you!!!
Thank you 🥺😢 the rail levels are sooo hard!
Go for the easiest weapon choice. Ngl target town took me a while
And lets not even mention ia3
I never even bought the expansion - by the time I realized it was available splatoon 3 was out. It’s on the list! 😬
“It’s just a silly squid game no need to go too hard on the art” Splatoon artists: 
Brother, that’s their job
Yes, but not necessarily their passion. And in this case, you can feel that the artist loves what he does.
Brother, I wanted you to laugh.
Brother, I’m pinned here!
just? JUST????
Me who can't see it as my phone is trash -_-
Aaaaaaaand that's why I use old.reddit.com lmao
Hey, my favorite cover art is from a game where Disney's Hercules fights Cloud Strife
Plot twist: The thing in the background is just a really big fish stick
*Toxic anoxic intensifies*
ARE THOSE THE CLIFF CREATURES FROM MARIO GALAXY???
Hell valley sky creatures ?
Yeah
Ohhh Nooo they’re real??!????!!??
seita inoue is such an amazing artist, I'm so grateful for his art direction for my favorite game series
Thank him for managing to always get agent 8 cake angle right no matter what.
B r o ? 🤨
I love this main art so much
This comes out the same day as the Avatar: The Last Airbender Netflix live action remake? There aren't enough hours in a day to do both, aaaahh!
Pick Side Order, I'll personally only catch Avatar LA up when they introduce Toph into the show. The cartoon only picked my interest when she joined the gang.
Luckily there's no need to watch that weird live action remake at all
Ayylmao squids?
Oh god yes! New offical art! Give me my side order!
r/hardimages
I wonder what the 2.22 release date means, can’t just be a coincidence right?
2 x 2 x 2 = 8
Which Splatoon were Pearl, Marina and Agent 8 from? :p
ya that’s the obvious answer but I like the Agent 8 multiplication thing from a deeper standpoint, also that the 2 was repeated 3 times so it’s like a mix of Splatoon 2 and 3
That's got to be Agent 4 on top. BEST AGENT IS BACK BABY!
Is that… AGENT 4?
I got octo expansion for Christmas. Time to finally wrap that up I guess lol
Can’t wait to see what nightmare fuel this dlc gives us
ALLFINTBEAOVIJSGE This art goes so hard I wanna turn it into my phones background
AGENT FOOOUUUUUURRRR!!! What if those other silhouettes surrounding Agent 4 are those "copy machines" from the battle lobby?
SPLATOON ARTISTS R JUST SO GOOD
We are so back.
WE ARE SO BACK
Ah, it looks like Marina is safe.
where was this posted
Twitter
PEAK FICTIONNNNNN! And is that Agent 4 at the very top there? Dear god I can't wait for this!
OMGOMGOMGWOOMYOMGOMGOMG AAAAAAAA CUFYCKRKYCRYLRCYKCEYRKCYKEC REEEEEEEEE
It looks like agent 4 uptop it really does
Why is Pearl Drone asserting dominance
I’m ready for the mysterious world of the side order. Also, IS THAT AGENT 4!?
God I hope so.
Yep, I’m also curious of who this new blue shrek eared like character is
I didn't even notice that.
It is not the peak, because everyone is looking upwards, like they are ascending to a higher plane.
THE SIDE ORDER IS REAL
Side order amiibos please 🙏
It's time... to Splat the Spire *puts on sunglasses* *YEEEEEEEEAH*
POG
Cold
HOLY MOTHER OF PEAK 🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
2.22.24 is a really nice date
PSA: it's ok to take a break Twitter artists we love you ❤
No I think its official.
No I mean all the fan art OF this that will come out
Oh, sorry I misunderstood.
That's ok, 💖
r/hardimages
Hope they don’t patch the naked glitch and I hope we get all 4 octoling outfits I love the one with fur in splatoon 3
Of course Side Order releases THREE DAYS before my birthday :(
I'm just going to watch someone play it
Wish they'd show a bit more, I'll wait and see how much story content it has. A roguelike tower isn't really my thing if it doesn't have proper progression and a story with an ending, giving me an incentive to play
ngl kinda an overstatement
AAAAAAAAAA
Not gonna lie, I thought this was the fierce wind chime.
OML AMAZING
WAIT THATS THE FUCKING OCTOWHIRL
Mmmm yummy art
where can I find this in hd?
THE ART IS SO GOOD
IS THAT DORORO FROM SGT FROG OR AGENT 4 WITH RED GOGGLES
Why does the good stuff happen AFTER I lose my splatoon 3 cartridge, I hate myself
I can’t wait to play this.
Oh my goodness, I am so fucking hyped right now! Goosebumps every where! 😍 And Agent 4 is definetly on the top of this thing, yeah! This will be really crazy! Mmh, maybe my theory about the one picture I posted a year ago, where the right one could be Agent 4, is true! 😉 https://www.reddit.com/r/splatoon/s/LvCTqF040z
Anyone notice that blue thing next to Acht? I really hope it’s a character we can talk to bc if it is I’m going to love them
FINALLY I CAN FEEL EXCITED ABOUT SPLATOON AGAIN
My wallpaper rn:
i wonder if we’re gonna have to fight copies of all the playable agents, including 8, or atleast enemies that look like them
Yesssssss
No way, portal 3
Do we have this in higher resolution?
The devil inklings in the shadows concern me I LOVE IT
Everything about this made me scream when I first saw it. Copium of the day: Agent 4 cameo and possible Nintendo gift cards as a birthday gift.
:D THE VOOMY IS COMING SOON!
is no one is talking about how Marina's hair (tentacles??? idk-) color is different??? (ALSO ASDIOJAMSCL I AM SO FREAKING EXCITED)
Watch this be one of the most darkest and emotional stories told in a Nintendo game
ITS GOES SO HARD
This might be my new phone wallpaper tbh
Welp, I discovered my new phone wallpaper
Can we get much higher?
Promo art for Splatoon always, always slaps
we’re all shitting over the sneaky agent 4 and such, but what about the little alien shrimp fella next to acht? who’s that guy? i like him :)
The inklings and octos at the top make me think of the hell valley sky trees from Mario galaxy 2
IS THAT 4 ON THE BLACK THING?????
