As Agent 8, you'll tackle discrete levels called Test Facilities. There are a total of 80 test facilities in the Octo Expansion, all connected via the subway. Agent 8 isn't the only one trapped in the subway, as classic Splatoon characters like Cap'n Cuttlefish will be along for the ride.
Finishing off the Octo Expansion will allow players to play as Octolings in the multiplayer portion of Splatoon 2. The Octo Expansion is launching this Summer, with a retail price of $19.99. Players can pre-purchase the expansion right now to unlock new Octo gear in Splatoon 2.
