So far, there are a few instances of the final in-game information being different from the datamined values, usually [[special gauge]] size. This is due to Nintendo continuing to make changes to weapon sets before unlocking them.*

* A new or scrapped special weapon, internally named "Bazooka". This is not the [[Inkzooka]], which was internally named 'SuperShot'.
* [[Flounder Heights]] as a returning stage.
* A new Ranked mode, codenamed "Rocket", with a unique object (vRocket) and weapon (vRocketNozzle). Hacking a work-in-progress version into the game shows a mode where a rocket object that is launched by shooting ink at it and an ink pump weapon that can be used to continue advancing once control of the rocket is gained.<ref>[https://twitter.com/Simon1844/status/1003063751829016576 {{TWI}} Simon1844 on Twitter]</ref>

===="Mirror" and Ancho-V Games datamine====
On {{date|2018-06-30}}, OatmealDome posted on his blog about two upcoming datamined stages, a new one codenamed "Mirror" and [[Ancho-V Games]].<ref>[https://oatmealdome.me/blog/a-look-at-some-unreleased-splatoon-2-maps/ Maps Blog post]</ref>
* "Mirror" would be similar to [[Saltspray Rig]] with mirror symmetry (with the Splat Zone, Tower, and Rainmaker appearing on the line of symmetry), but is not actually Saltspray Rig as its codename in ''Splatoon'' is "SeaPlant". The map appears to be based on a theater due to the test object names.
* For [[Ancho-V Games]], the beginning areas of the map have been redesigned with the [[Spawn Point]] is placed further back, and a [[Sponge]] was added.
===WemI0 3.0.0 datamine===

====Weapon details====
Further datamining by twitter users WemI0, LeanYoshi, OatmealDome, Simonx22, and 0xRed revealed a total of two new [[Slosher (type)|sloshers]] and two new [[splatling]]s.<ref>LeanYoshi's Tweets: [https://twitter.com/LeanYoshi/status/1017577876823080962], [https://twitter.com/LeanYoshi/status/1017601598728654848]</ref>
{{Collapse|'''Details'''|
* A slosher codenamed "Washtub" that later became the [[Explosher]].
** Very heavy damage and slow firing (equivalent to the {{Weapon|S2|Main|Dynamo Roller}}). Internal stats indicate it would fire a projectile that explodes, similar to a fully-charged Rainmaker attack.
** First set: {{Weapon|S2|Sub|Sprinkler}}, {{Weapon|S2|Special|Bubble Blower}}.
** Second set: {{Weapon|S2|Sub|Autobomb}}, {{Weapon|S2|Special|Baller}}.
* A slosher codenamed "Bathtub" that became the [[Bloblobber]].
** Fires three balls that bound off walls and floors like the [[Octotrooper]] bullets in [[Octo Canyon (mode)|Octo Canyon]]. Middle projectile is larger and does up to 70 damage, side projectiles are smaller and do up to 35.
** The weapon was hacked into the game and can be seen in a [https://twitter.com/OatmealDome/status/995522686150377472 demo video]
** First set: {{Weapon|S2|Sub|Splash Wall}}, {{Weapon|S2|Special|Ink Storm}}.
** Second set: New "Piyo" Sub Weapon, {{Weapon|S2|Special|Suction Bomb Launcher}}.
* A splatling codenamed "Serein" that became the [[Nautilus 47]].
** Can hold a charge while submerged in ink. Hold time is half that of the {{Weapon|S2|Main|Goo Tuber}}, equal to double the time for the {{Weapon|S2|Main|Splat Charger}} and {{Weapon|S2|Main|E-liter 4K}}.
** First set: {{Weapon|S2|Sub|Point Sensor}}, {{Weapon|S2|Special|Baller}}.
** Second set: {{Weapon|S2|Sub|Splat Bomb}}, {{Weapon|S2|Special|Ink Armor}}.
* A splatling codenamed "Downpour" that became the [[Ballpoint Splatling]].
** Very short range with the first level of charge, range doubles when fully charged. Highest damage-per-second weapon currently known due to very high firing rate.
** First set: {{Weapon|S2|Sub|Toxic Mist}}, {{Weapon|S2|Special|Inkjet}}.
** Second set: {{Weapon|S2|Sub|Squid Beakon}}, {{Weapon|S2|Special|Splashdown}}.

====3.1.0 Update====
On June 13, WemI0 datamined Version 3.1.0 and found new details about gear, weapons, and maps.
* Two new [[Salmon Run]] Rewards.<ref>[https://twitter.com/WemI0/status/1007103191090155526 {{TWI}} Salmon Run Rewards]</ref>
** The cap used while playing Salmon Run.
** A white Do-Rag that became the [[Worker's Head Towel]].
* Four new weapons.<ref>[https://twitter.com/WemI0/status/1007093604832235520 {{TWI}} Exploshers and Ballpoint Splatlings]</ref>
** The {{Weapon|S2|Main|Explosher}} ({{Weapon|S2|Sub|Sprinkler|icononly}}, {{Weapon|S2|Special|Bubble Blower|icononly}}), (originally codenamed "Washtub") and its {{Brand|S|Custom}} alt.
** The {{Weapon|S2|Main|Ballpoint Splatling}} ({{Weapon|S2|Sub|Toxic Mist|icononly}}, {{Weapon|S2|Special|Inkjet|icononly}}), (originally codenamed "Downpour") and its {{Brand|S|Nouveau}} alt.
* The new map: [[New Albacore Hotel]] (originally codenamed "Nakasu").<ref>[https://twitter.com/WemI0/status/1007102848885248000 {{TWI}} New Albacore Hotel]</ref>
* An entirely new [[sub weapon]], the {{Weapon|S2|Sub|Fizzy Bomb}} (originally codenamed "Wsb_Piyo").<ref>
[https://twitter.com/WemI0/status/1007106040381476876 {{TWI}} Wsb_Piyo Sub]</ref>
** When thrown, it leaves a trail before quickly exploding once it hits the ground. It can be charged to add bombs which come after the initial explosion.
* A new [[special weapon]], the {{Weapon|S2|Special|Booyah Bomb}} (originally codenamed "SuperBall").<ref>[https://twitter.com/asasasa98765/status/1017746767150870528?s=20 {{TWI}} SuperBall]</ref>
** When used, a ball held by the player appears and it gets bigger and bigger. When thrown, it explodes like an [[Inkstrike]], damaging or splatting all the enemies in the explosion. Further information from Squid Research Lab revealed its ability to accelerate the charging sequence by using the "Booyah!" signal, which will also refill teammates' special meters when they "Booyah!".
===Eight-Ball datamine===
On {{date|2018-06-09}}, Twitter user Simonx22 datamined a new Ranked game mode codenamed "Eight-Ball" and posted a video showing it off.<ref> [https://twitter.com/Simon1844/status/1005619865317773312 {{TWI}} Eight Ball in action]</ref>

There are a few rumors and leaks regarding Splatoon content. Some are created by the community with others being sparked by the developers themselves.

Ongoing

This is a list of rumors and leaks that have neither been confirmed true nor false.

There are no more current rumors now that Splatoon 2's new content has been finished, outside of minor patch updates.

Disproven or Changed

OatmealDome Leak on Reddit

In August 2017, reddit user OatmealDome made two posts[1][2] with datamined information from Splatoon 2 which had not been officially revealed at the time. Many upcoming Splatoon 2 weapons and gear have been found in the game's files[3].

So far, there are a few instances of the final in-game information being different from the datamined values, usually special gauge size. This is due to Nintendo continuing to make changes to weapon sets before unlocking them.*

Confirmed

This is a list of rumors or leaks that have been confirmed to be true.

Splatoon

Datamine DLC leak

Twitter NWPlayer123 datamined Splatoon and leaked information about upcoming weapons, stages, and modes.[5] Also, some pictures and explanations were shown about the new Ranked modes, Tower Control and Rainmaker.

The leaker also uploaded a video of the Sploosh-o-matic, one of the leaked unreleased weapons, after using live memory edits to add it in.[6]

The following content was revealed due to this datamine:

A Twitter post by Twitter NWPlayer123 on 30 January 2016 showed the results of continued datamining as new amiibo coming for Splatoon, called "AmiiboIdolA" and "AmiiboIdolB" in the game's files. It was believed they could be Squid Sisters amiibo, hence the names.[7]

On 30 April 2016, SplatoonJP finally announced that Squid Sisters' amiibo will be released on 7 July 2016.[8]

WemI0 3.0.0 datamine

On 26 April 2018, Twitter user WemI0 preformed a datamine of Version 3.0.0 in Splatoon 2 and found several models for gear, weapons, and more. These are the confirmed pieces of content: [12]

Salmon Run Gear

Amiibo and promotional gear

  • Pearl and Marina's outfits from The Octo Expansion (via their Amiibo).
  • A clothing item based on the Splatoon 2 World Championship held at E3 2018.
  • Agent 8's armor from The Octo Expansion.

Busted

This is a list of rumors and leaks that have been confirmed false.

Splatoon

Cheat code

Arrows found in Inkopolis Plaza on top of Booyah Base.

Some days after the game's launch, players noticed that some Sunken Scrolls, as well as signs on Inkopolis Plaza, contain what appears to be arrows pointing up, down, left or right.[13]

On the 9 June 2015, the official Splatoon Facebook page made a joke post referencing how some Facebook users accidentally type Google search queries on their Facebook profiles.[14] This joke, however, sparked curiosity among fans, as the "search" was for "Squid Jump cheats". Naturally, Nintendo staff themselves would not be searching for cheat codes on a game made by their company, meaning the post was placed there on purpose, likely to hint players about the existence of a code hidden inside the game.

On top of this, the official Splatoon Tumblr account made a post about how players can press ZR on the Plaza to look around, and how this serves the additional purpose of getting information on Miiverse posts. It also mentioned that it "may also have another use", which remains unknown to this day. [15]

As of yet, no code has been found, and it is unknown if there is any relation between the arrows, the rumored code, and the rumored extra function of ZR, or if any secret exists to begin with. Players have since been attempting to figure something out by input the arrow's directions during different parts of the game, mostly the Squid Jump minigame, but without luck.[16]

However, Splatoon Ikasu Artbook definitely shows that it simply is a stylized spelling of "ブイヤベース" (Booyah Base) in Inkling.

Super Mario Sunshine DLC

The supposedly leaked image.

There was a "leak" on the internet that Super Mario Sunshine amiibo DLC was coming to Splatoon. Only a single image existed regarding this supposed leak. It has since been proven fake, with the author of the leak releasing the images they used to create it.[17]

New Super Mario Sunshine DLC

During July, a new Super Mario Sunshine amiibo DLC rumor with several images was found. These images supposedly depicted new Sunshine-related gear and Octo Valley missions. The supposed announcement date passed, and nothing like it was added, confirming it as false.

  • Rumor 1.jpg
  • Rumor 2.jpg
  • Rumor 3.jpg
  • Rumor 4.jpg
  • Rumor 5.jpg
  • Rumor 6.jpg
  • Rumor 7.jpg

Splatoon 2

  • A new scrapped special weapon codenamed "Bazooka." This is not the Inkzooka, which is codenamed "SuperShot."
  • The return of Flounder Heights.
  • A new Ranked mode, codenamed "Rocket", with a unique object (vRocket) and weapon (vRocketNozzle). Hacking a work-in-progress version into the game shows a mode where a rocket object that is launched by shooting ink at it and an ink pump weapon that can be used to continue advancing once control of the rocket is gained.[18]
  • The original Octoling Armor and Octoling Boots.
  • Marie's Hero Charger from Octo Canyon.
  • The Eight-Ball Ranked mode. [19]
