In April and May 2018, JAMSTEC and the Japanese Splatoon Twitter account announced a collaboration and cross-promotion called Jamsteeec,[1] which included:
- The New Life-Forms vs. Advanced Technology Splatfest.[2]
- Inkopolis' version of JAMSTEC,[3] with a few details:
- The Oceanic Hard Hat headgear,[4] designed after the real-world JAMSTEC hard hats.
- The research and deep-earth drilling ship, CHIKYU, was added to the background of the Manta Maria stage.[5]
- The deep-sea submarine Shinkai 6500 was shown to exist in the background of C11 Abracadabra Station.[6]
- Videos showing real-life deep sea squids[8] and octopuses,[9] in comparison with Inklings and Octolings.
- Several posts on the real-life creatures that inspired some of the characters in the Octo Expansion, including C.Q. Cumber (sea pig)[10] and Iso Padre (giant isopod).[11]
- A free "open day" held on 12 May 2018 at the JAMSTEC headquarters in Yokosuka was promoted on the SplatoonJP Twitter.[12]
- Splatoon 2 collaboration activities at the event itself, such as presentation of the "research reports", an exhibition stamp rally, photo opportunities, and coloring book illustrations.
