We have a leak!
This article or section discusses unreleased content that has not been confirmed. Information is subject to change.

There have been several rumors and leaks regarding Splatoon content - some were created by the community, while others were sparked by the developers themselves.

Ongoing

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

Mr. Grizz as the Villian

Happy New Year 2020 image. The waves spell "SAVE OUR SALMONS".

There have been many hints, beginning with a 2020 greeting image posted on SplatoonJP Twitter with a hidden message in the waves spelling "SAVE OUR SALMONS" leading many people within the community to theorize about Mr. Grizz potentially acting as the villain of Splatoon 3's story mode.

Apartments in Splatoon 3

There have been some theories from fans that apartments will be introduced in Splatoon 3. This is highly unlikely due to the customizable lockers.

Changed or scrapped

A list of rumors and leaks that were either changed before being implemented in-game, or ultimately never released.

OatmealDome leak on Reddit

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

There were several instances of the final in-game information being different from the data mined values, usually special gauge size. This was due to Nintendo continuing to make changes to weapon sets before unlocking them.

Unfinished ranked modes

An unfinished ranked mode code-named "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.[4]

Another unfinished Ranked mode, code-named "Eight-Ball", can be accessed with hacks. It involves the player shooting a large ball reminiscent of the 8-Ball to roll it towards the opposing team's goal. [5] [6]

Miscellaneous

  • A new scrapped special weapon codenamed "Bazooka." This is not the Inkzooka, which is codenamed "SuperShot."
  • The original Octoling Armor and Octoling Boots to accompany the Octoleet Goggles. Data and models for both of them exist in the game's files but were ultimately never released.
  • The Tentacles Helmet was shown in the 8 March 2018 Nintendo Direct but did not see a release.

Confirmed

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

Splatoon

Prima Strategy Guide "Coming Soon" section

Prima's guide showing then-upcoming maps and weapons.

The Prima Strategy Guide for Splatoon included a "Coming Soon" section which showed off upcoming weapons and stages.[7]

There are also two images of Tower Control.

Datamine DLC leak

Twitter NWPlayer123 datamined Splatoon and leaked information about upcoming weapons, stages, and modes.[8] 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.[9]

The following content was revealed due to this datamine:

Weapons
Stages
Modes
  • Rainmaker's description and gameplay mechanics.

Version 2.0.0 datamining

After the release of Version 2.0.0 of Splatoon, NWPlayer123 and Guy Perfect once again dug into the data and found more information regarding unreleased content, including weapons, stages, gear, character models and game modes.

Sloshing Machine datamining

In a similar vein to the Version 2.0.0 datamining, NWPlayer123 posted photos and video of a new slosher variety, the Sloshing Machine, as well as other minor additions in Version 2.2.0.

Squid Sisters amiibo

Squid Sisters' amiibo promo.

A Twitter post by Twitter NWPlayer123 on 30 January 2016 showed the results of continued data mining 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.[10] These files were added in the version 2.4.0 update and speculation on them, as well as some "SCLive" strings that corresponded to the amiibo entries, date as far back as 17 December 2015.[11]

On 30 April 2016, it finally announced that Squid Sisters' amiibo would be released on 7 July 2016.[12]

Splatoon 2

Playable Octolings

Playable girl and boy Octolings that were released with the Octo Expansion.

New Rank Battle mode

A new Ranked mode, Clam Blitz, released on December 13, 2017.

Stages

Two new Salmon Run stages codenamed "Shakehouse" and "Threepoints" respectively.

Kelp Dome, Blackbelly Skatepark and Ancho-V Games have returned from Splatoon.

Six new stages codenamed "Pillar", "Kawa" (Japanese for 'river'), "Line", "Tunnel", "Nakasu" and "Mirror" respectively.

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: [17]

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.

Splatoon 3

Announcment/Existence

The Twitter-based leaker SamusHunter posted about Splatoon 3's existence in a tweet over a month before its announcement.

Return of Flounder Heights in Splatoon 3

For a split second in the YouTube "Return of the Mammalians" trailer for Splatoon 3, an image depicting a water tank found in Flounder Heights can be seen in a black-and-white filter, around 1:10-1:11. It appears to be taken from the stage thumbnail for Splatoon.[18] This leak has been confirmed due to the picture of Flounder Heights in the "post-launch stages" portion of the Nintendo Direct

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.[19]

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.[20] 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. [21]

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.[22]

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

Multiple fake Super Mario Sunshine DLC leaks

The supposedly leaked image.

Around June 2015, 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.[23]

Later that year, in July, another 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.

Splatoon 2

Flounder Heights returning

In late 2017, speculation emerged about the possible return of Flounder Heights. This speculation was based on a placeholder entry that had a misspelling of the stage's Quebec French name.[24]

Marie's charger

Template:Todo There was a rumor in 2018 that Marie's Hero Charger from Octo Canyon would be added as a playable weapon.

Wasabi Splattershot

Template:Todo There was a Twitter post in mid-2018 that rumored that the Wasabi Splattershot would return, which included a promo render image and its sub and special, Toxic Mist and a new unheard of special at the time. But this was confirmed false with the release of the Kensa Splattershot in Kensa Collection Volume 1 in September of that year. The unknown special became known as the Booyah Bomb.

Splatoon 3

SamusHunter leaks

The supposedly leaked image

The controversial[25] Twitter leaker SamusHunter was submitted an E3 2021 - What to expect graphic, with one of the pictures being for a "2021 Splatoon 3 World Inkling Invitational". None of these events were seen in the E3 2021 Direct and outdated branding was used for the images.

Open-world Splatlands

Many people within the community have created theories that lead to Splatoon 3's single player taking place in an open-world area. These theories take many different pieces of evidence from the trailer and the Squid Research Lab, ranging from the walking of the Little Buddy being too far back for the classic platformer hero mode, and to what seems to be an entire shop for bikes. Gameplay shown in the September 2021 Nintendo Direct showed platforming gameplay more reminiscent of Octo Valley and Octo Canyon with the player collecting Zapfish on linear stages.
