Conjecture

This article or section involves something that has not been specifically named.
The name(s) presented could be conjectural.

The Inkopolis News Studio is a building in Inkopolis where Inkopolis News is filmed. In Splatoon and Splatoon 3, it is located in Inkopolis Plaza, next to the Battle Dojo and on top of Inkopolis Café; in Splatoon 2, it is located on the ground floor of Inkopolis Square next to The Shoal. The Squid Sisters (in Splatoon and Splatoon 3) or Off the Hook (in Splatoon 2) can be seen sitting at a table in the studio and conversing with each other. It has no visible door and cannot be entered by the player, but it has a large window through which its interior can be seen.

Easter egg

The studio is home to an Easter egg in all three games: if the player looks through the studio's big glass window by zooming in with , the Squid Sisters or Off The Hook eventually acknowledge the player. In Splatoon, Callie and Marie both smile and wave. In Splatoon 2, Off the Hook's reaction differs depending on the player's species: if they are an Inkling, Pearl looks annoyed for having her conversation disturbed, laughs to herself, and poses while Marina bashfully smiles and waves, whereas if the player is an Octoling, Off the Hook will strike more joyful poses and laugh, recognizing the player as Agent 8 from the Octo Expansion. In Splatoon 3, Callie and Marie's reaction to the player depends on whether or not they have completed Return of the Mammalians; if they have not, the Squid Sisters will merely wave, while if they have they will perform their "stay fresh" gesture.

In Splatoon, the Squid Sisters sit on chairs. The colors of the chairs match the ink colors of the player's latest match (or the current Splatfest); the main color is the opponents' color, with arrows in the player's team color. The table in front of them has two lollipops on it, inside a container.

Splatoon 2

In Splatoon 2, Off the Hook also sit on chairs (Pearl's is yellow and Marina's is black) and on the table there is what appears to be a bag of chips and two drinks.

Usage

Here, Inkopolis News is filmed. In Splatoon, people also order food and drinks, as there is a café beneath it. In Splatoon 2, there is a second floor, possibly used to film movies or music videos.
