how about this story takes place after Splatoon 3 we are in a very archaeological city where the Inklings and Octolings found and studied the past of the humans, and created their whole society and weapons, based on those finds Feudal Japan, Medieval Europe, Ancient Egypt, ect.
My OC Mable has always been fascinated with humans, and basically became an expert on them. Not to mention that she can translate every human language in existence.

While a game set in the past would be nice, nogami said that he wants the game and characters to grow up with the player base. What I think is more likely is a Stetting based more on older style cities
Yea I've been wondering why no one has brought that up. Splatoon has always tried to form a relationship where the community influences and impacts the actual game. Changing the time would probably mess this up.
Huh. Well in that case a great turf war game may be even more likely. People don’t go to war until they are adults, so I’m assuming the same applies in the splatoon universe. And with a lot of the splatoon players now being older, it actually makes more sense to have a game set during the war.
@@TyB-g1o we won’t get a Great Turf War game. The direct said that the inklings vs octolings saga is done, and the devs clearly want to move on from it.
My thoughts: The base game campaign could involve the Salmonids! They will be the main enemy force this time around. After all, it was the fishy fiends who tried to disrupt the Grand Fest by invading that special Grand Bowl stage. These Salmon Runs have been involved since S2, and they got BIG in S3. The sea is calling like a siren, and no one will be able to ignore the screams of the Kings...or even something from much deeper waters.
YES! My thoughts exactly!! The Salmonids are gonna want their revenge for all the eggs taken from them. We learn Big Runs and Big Big Runs were only a dress rehearsal for something even more apocalyptic. Someone or something has to be leading and commanding ALL Salmonids. Who? That leader should be the brand new, Thanos-level antagonist going forward. Who knows what's been going on under the waves??
Yall tryna read too much into why people chose past and who chose it to have made it win We'll likely get future and present themed DLCs in Splatoon 4 if side order is anything to go off of, it's not like they're gonna be completely lost to time now.
wants: -A male-majority idol group, a male and female idol duo, or an all-male group -16 hours worth of story mode -apartments or walk-in closets as the next space decoration -have DJ Octavio and Capt. cuttlefish make up and have their feud end -antagonist (and antagonistic faction) relating to the winning result in the final splatfest -variety in body types, and more hair options (especially for masculine options) -have another pet for story mode, with a bit more customizability
They should add things to do in the plaza, like sitting on the benches or emoting, maybe being able to interact with other players outside of turf war or battles, it’d make the game interesting. Heck add something like the lockers again, maybe apartments that your friends and you can decorate and you can live in the apartment and mess with stuff, also more customization, hairstyles and being able to change tentacles tips and fingertips, like how Frye and Marina have, and I mean tentacle tip changing like how Marina has, also they should add weather cycles, plus day and night cycles, weather like rain would slowly get rid of ink so you constantly need to put it back down, so matches can change very quickly, foggy does the same as it does in salmon run, maybe night matches add secret places and different maps, stuff like that could really change the gameplay
Or just sell my clothes, especially the ones you get early on so you can receive the chunks out of them for selling them off. This way you can start accumulating chunks for much cheaper since you won't have tons of money or chunks yet. The earlier you get started the better. Or trade chunks for other types. Like say you have a lot run speed you never use but need special charge up. You could trade say 20 of them to someone else who's asking for the speed run in particular. Maybe even have a shop where you can get high priced (old amiibo) gear or old weapon skins and ink tanks, via tons of chunks as currency or super sea snails. The prices are heavily reduced during special events like the splatfests and big run. Special weapons could be rented out (in a similar vein to the grizzco weapons) for the modes splatfest usually takes away. These should have twists or be aestetically different to fit the splatfest theming outside the ink. like clam blitz turns into feeding a creature instead of throwing them into a basket. Win enough times yields you a pearl necklace (no ability slots but you can change its color). Tower control can have fire works go off each time it reaches a checkpoint and the tower can either shrink or grow taller depending on who's losing/winning and where it is. Maybe some kind of low or high heel shoes could be a thing if you win enough games. Splatzones should have fun shapes and you can get a light up key chain or hair clips. There would be multiple different ones.
Well, you might not directly go to the past, but another war might break out with a new species being the one trying to get more turf. Like a "history repeats itself" thing
story mode should have bigger story. more bosses. intense cutscenes. new antagonists like a rogue inkling/octoling who literally wounded idols and splatted them completely. an antagonist who'd punch you and hates your guts as a dangerous bully. i want like 12 or 17 bosses instead of boring 4.
@@NickMario1 it is understandable that the most content was the weapons kit and hats and clothes but there's not much content added on story mode very much OTHER than DLC Yet it is frustrating that there's hardly any lore or ANY other places we can go like other countries. it's like we are stuck on one place and no more.
Heck you could have the squid research team be a pretty big part of it. Maybe a group of humans is discovered by the inkling/octoling world. They might want human tech, so the campaign could be trying to get it. Of course ink probably wouldn’t hurt us, so maybe inkling and octoling ink causes cell death? A human final boss would also be kinda cool. Or heck maybe the story is about humans trying to integrate into squid society? They could pull a marina and have one of the idols be a human wearing a mask or something.
I think the main game is gonna continue with the modern system, with some new stuff as always but the main campaign issue this time will be... TIME TRAVEL. Young Cuttlefish, old versions of characters we know, the great Turf War, all of it. Main story takes us to the past... eventual DLC take us to the Future. Different musical vibe for each time setting.
My list for Splatoon 4; * They should do body types for Inklings and Octolings. * The next music group to have more males. * The story mode ought to have more than 5 bosses.
@@nyanmurai331 More shapes and sizes to choose from? every single inkling and octoling is the same height, and all have the same bodies with all of the same proportions, but they could easily add in some variety. If you google body types, maybe it'll make more sense, but basically, you can easily get a lot of variety through tiny little changes. Like how some people have wider hips, or broader shoulders
I feel like it could turn into being the Pokemon Arceus of Splatoon, almost a prologue to the original game. It could have more implications of past relatives to the characters we know now, going over the lore we already know but being able to play it rather than read it in scrolls or diarys
I think it'd be really cool if, considering with the menu in splatoon 1 showing dorms, they fully implemented this, instead of just a locker to decorate, maybe even the whole (or majority) of the dorm!
Ive only been playing splatoon for a little over a year at this point bit something that was always in the back of my mind was a dorm room kind of similar to how lockers work! Like image you just start off with one room, a bed, and a bathroom and the wallpaper is a little stained and ripped but as you develop through the gane you can buy a larger room, cooler furniture like bunk beds, or if we wanna go all in on the co-op features you could share a dorm with another friend and decorate together! Honestly this probably won't be added but if i were to suggest a feature I would really REALLY want this lol
I bet the story mode will be they find a Time Machine and some new antagonist uses it to go back in time so you have to go back in time to end the fight before it begins all terminator style
I'm very interested to see what Nintendo will do for the next Splatoon game now that the original trilogy has come to a close. I like the idea of going into the past to see the start of the Great Turf War to see either side of the inklings and octolings with choosing to play as an inkling or an octoling.
A few things, 1. New hair options for Octolings (heck maybe we’ll share some hairstyles with inklings!) 2. The dorms 3. Maybe a feudal era village in Splatoon?
U are literally me. I thought it would be dumb for present to win because nothing would change and i was torn between past and future but ultimitley joined future.
The previous Final Splatfests didn't effect their next game. They were a forced choice, an equivocation; the results would have been the same but framed differently. So the winner doesn't tell us much about the next game, but the theme of the splatfest might.
List for Splatoon 4: 1. This might be weird.. (personal opinion) but playable miis? Idk. 2. Dorms. Please. 3. Maybe like Ninjala something like a dorm, a base that's like a dorm of somethin'? 4. Pets maybe? 5. Splatfest tattoos. 6. RANKED splatfest battles, please. 7. Chapters in story mode. 8. Maybe idk new species when we reach new levels? 9. MALE. IDOLS. 10. Cutscenes in story mode, please.. Idk what else haha.
I've always wanted to see Splatoon Project 3, get green lighted by Nintendo, even if it's for Splatoon 4. Either way I'm hyped, I've wanted to play at the beginning instead of hoping in at the end like always.
The problem of a full game in the past in inkopolis Is that the main multiplayer would not have new technology sush as Dualies, splatanas, Brellas, stringers and Splatoon 3 spawnpoints cuz they were not invented at the time
A "Beginnings" would be better off as another DLC expansion, much like what Octo Expansion and Side Order are. But that's it. I have no desire to see Splatoon 4 centered around this theme and be made a prequel to the first 3 games. If anything, just give Callie and Marie, the winning side in the Grand Festival, a prominent role going forward.
They need to do a local multiplayer mode like other shooters...like a 4 player split screen or something would be fun with friends in same room stuff........
I’m hoping Nintendo will kind of do a breath of the wild style uncovering history type thing for the next splatoon game. Like finding old weapons/blueprints from hundreds of years ago. I also hope we have more of a focus on returning and glorifying old returning stages rather than butchering them like 3 did. I hope we keep the same characters but add more, I feel like the series will continue to move forward in time but will just focus on nostalgia and learning about/uncovering the past.
I just chose team present because it’s my genuine answer to the question also I started with splat 2 so I guess there’s bias there. I just didn’t want future to win cause I was thinking that it mean that the map design would remain the same and I think it’s at its worst in Splatoon 3
What do I think? I think the Multiplayer does take place after Splatoon 3. But however, the Campaign is about the Great Turf War. Your player enters what seems to be a lab, where everyone is there, the Idols, Cuttlefish, even DJ Octavio. The campaign takes place in a simulation of the past. Helping your player learn the history of the Great Turf War, Assassin's Creed style. The reason for this is probably so they can ace a test they are doing in school. lol
TBF I did only join in like the middle of Splatoon 2 so I don't know anything abt Splatoon 1, however, I do think it would be interesting to show something like being able to work with other agents, which could be NPCs or co-op players. They could make side order a bigger thing, since that's Pearl and Marina's story. Odds are, they'll do the same for deep cut. If all of the past celebrities joined callie and Marie as agents, it would be very cool if each celebrity had their own unique boost or skillset to help with the mission, or kettle, or whatever. I'd definitely like to see more of deepcut's backstory, as they seem to be such interesting characters.
I doubt it’s going to take place in the past. More likely it’s going to be a continuation of the series following the theme of the past such as nostalgia. Remember how splatocaplypse we thought we were going to see a wasteland? Yeah… more than likely it’s going to be a fourth installment of the series only except it’s splatoon returning to its rootsz
what I mainly hope for a new Splatoon is something too shake and push the franchise forward. So, this is how I think they could achieve this: - the game is set in the past during the Great Turf War. - new art style. - all weapons are new (with the exception of the Bamboozler for lore reasons). - all modes are new (with the exception of Turf War, for lore reasons as well). - maps are bigger, and all-new. - the gameplay will focus more on strategy (it is a war after all). - Inklings/Octolings are older (young adults). to sum up, the game is a reboot. the idea is simple: attract new players and explore new gameplay ideas, without having to deal with the already crowded universe of Splatoon. The game would have a overall more "serious" tone to it, but would still be colorful and fun.
I have an idea for the place in Splatoon 4: Inkotami - a village/town that keeps in touch with its ancient past while embracing the ever changes in the present with anticipation of the unknown future
I've never played Splatoon games not Splatoon 1 on Wii U or Splatoon 2 and 3 on Switch, but i'm more interested defienitily Dplatoon 3 and if Splatoon 4 is going to be BIG and for Switch 2 I believe i'm getting it a new Splatoon video is a nice video in my birthday thank you! 🎉😊
Dont forget that splatoon 2 already had the effect of the great turf war, such as Octavio leading the octarians (Sry if I spelled that wrong) To the great zapfish for energy. When the inklings won the war, the Octos were left with nothing, so when they found a underground area, they wanted it to be powered. THAT area could save them. Thats what lead to the disappearance of the Great Zapfish, the one soul thing that was powering the enemy, inkings. I *did* get this from the *VERY* long i donno 2-3 or 4 hour long splatoon 1-3 timeline video, but the effects from the war were impacted to splatoon 2. (My opinion that I will say now has nothing to do with the video :3) Now for splatoon 4? Because past won, I think that splatoon will add something about the war, but its unlikely that it will be the effects of it, because of splatoon 2. So we *do* have a chance to get a playable war part. But that would be *VERY* hard, and having that much of a side part to the game *needs* to affect the actual multiplayer mode itself. But splatoon wouldn't go back from their progess, why would they delete their modes *just* to fit a single player campaign? So really, we cant be sure what splatoon will be, Splatoon 1 had marie win, but it affected *CALLIE* then splatoon 2's win for Chaos changed things for splatoon 3, and the lose for team order got a whole single player mode for itself. SO we *will* know that Splatoon will most likely use the other choices for the future game, like Present & Future. *Thank you for reading this super long thing on what I think, im a yapper, so im sorry for this essay :(*
What if the story took place in the past and the salmonoids suddenly invaded the place and maybe agent 3 or someone else could save it. I think that would be pretty cool
Really hope they wait longer to release! It would be amazing for us to almost forget about it and then BOOM ….. preview of the new Splatoon game….. and they may even decide to just use a name and not a number, who knows! I will definitely continue to play on Splatoon 3 for a while yet.
I think It's Probably the area caverns city like flintstones and croods or Someone,The Present lost but They Added DLC like ties together the single player compained on the worlds area depicted From Splatoon 2 Octo Expansion and Splatoon 3 Side order They Call Present Fuse,Present Connection or Present Faded etc. Can Return Tartar and Order I Guess... Abiously Pearl and Marina They Kidnapped and Also the final boss they fused IT! With Relationship.
I really think the campaign is going to be the great turf war and the grizzco equivalent would be the turf war, the stages you play on in that, after "winning" that turf would be added to the multiplayer, would also decrease the number of weapons significantly.
Theres two ways I feel we can see splatoon go based off of the final splatfest aka grand fest. First one could be going all the way back to the Great Turf War, it was mentioned way back in Splatoon 1 it would be a great way to end off this almost decade old saga in another way and finally see what actions started that war, second as one person already suggested, we continue the timeline but have the next game be about uncovering the past and possibly secrets of the humans before their extinction, this could also have the same impact as the Great Turf War path but we learn more as to how all of this even started and how the human race not only made itself extinct along with other species but allowed some other species to evolve
If team past could mean more development and leaning more about Inkling and Octarian relations before their war I’d be really excited for that. Could have an octarian or multiple octarian NPC’s living on the surface even. Big Man in his concept art was originally considered to even be an octarian. I mean I’m happy they changed their minds there, I love the Big Man we got. Maybe they thought they’d better wait one more game before completely mending the gap and letting octarians live on the surface again. I’d also like the know more about the war and the first Squidbeak Splatoon before the new one
Realistically i think Splatoon 3 would be the next console's launch title, since it's already a finished game. The best bet for the next game's launch date would be around 2-3 years from now around 2027, which gives the devs plenty of time to develop, balance, and polish the game. I agree, they should really just take their time with it, because expectations for this next game are high and the devs want to not only meet them but exceed them, especially with the main story (side note: i would love a story based around the Splatlands and how they developed, or a more immersive story focused on the fall of humanity because RotM was kinda lacking)
From what we know about the Switch 2 my guess was that Splatoon 3 was originally going to be a launch title and when Nintendo corporate decieded to delay the Switch 2 they shifted the Splatoon devs to pump out Splatoon 3 as a stop gap (probably using that splatfest as a catalyst with chaos -> anarchy...). The reason I believe this to be a possible explanation because Nvidia employees have been leaking that the Switch 2’s custom Ampere (RTX30) based APU has been done for a while now, and has since been augmented with a small amount of upgrades from the Ada Lovelace (RTX40) architecture and has seen a slight node-shrink. With current best guesses being that Nintendo are waiting to reduce power consumption, production cost, and possibly even allowing handheld mode to be passively cooled while moving the fan into the dock. With that theory I feel it explains why the Splatoon 3 developers were given flack at the beginning for being inexperienced, and would lead me to believe that Splatoon 4 would be a major launch title with the possibility for a huge story mode and new game modes. While I feel that the “splatfests decided major game direction” take is both a stretch but also has good evidence. So if it’s a true observation I’d guess that all 3 idol groups could have each been a major part of the story mode and the Grand Fest would decide who got the lime light. Basically I feel that given how long the switch 2 has been “done” from a base hardware point of view, and how popular Splatoon has become I doubt that Splatoon 4 Is far away, Switch 2 WILL be announced by the end of the Fiscal Year and I’d expect Splatoon 4 to be one of the launch titles.
Goddamnit that's already fucking 2 final splatfests that i've missed and i really need to start tuning into more splatfests. Honestly, if splatoon 4 ever will come out, then i really hope i don't miss the final splatfest for that game.
Maybe the story could be like Halo Reach's. Focusing on the Great Turf War with your squad of fellow Squids who one by one meet an unfortunate fate till you're the last one remaining to fight against Octavio while you ultimately lose, you unknowingly gave the Squidbeak Splatoon the time they needed to gather their forces for the final Turf War, which you play out as one of their members. The ending can cut back to present day where Cuttlefish along with Callie, Marie, Sheldon, and Octavio are visiting the sight of the final Turf War having finally put their differences beside them following the ending of Splatoon 3. This way not only do we still get new characters but also it can cover their bases for covering the Great Turf War without focusing on the Squidbeak Splatoon.
I really hope Splatoon 4 will play in a beach, modern themed world/city (like project Splatoon 3) and the main story on a island where deep cut is part of (no squid sisters anymore), a past themed dlc where the story is about the great turfwar.
My theory for the next game: - Squid sisters are the idols again -Story mode could be a a recap story of the great turf war being told by captain cuddlefish. And we play as one of his teammates. -DLC could be something involving deep cut -off the hook and deep cut are making music for multiplayer matches
imagine all the agents going through a time machine and come out in our human time, scattered around like in sonicc adventure 2 kind of concept, and slowly finding each other through the story so you can, tzhe more agents you unlock thoughout the story, switch player like in gtav, and idk. maybe a point in the story were something hapens to the agents, like a transformation, or just that they find diving suits, so the other half of the story doesnt play in a openworld human city, but in the ocean, at diffrent depths with diffrent ocean bioms, and at the end the deepsea, where they somehow get 12k years back into the future. i mean, there are alot of epic ideas, so splatoon 4 can only be good, i even hope it to be the second best game after gta6, in terms of epicness, soundtrack, and fun and inovation
I really would like for the game to focus on the events of the Great Turf War, along with the connections between Craig and Octavio. And as much as I know this may never happen, I would like for the story of Craig and Octavio to be handled almost like the fan comic: Dissonant Melody
The story should take place in the Calamari County before the Great Turf having the game show what happened before the Great Turf War. The Idol group is called Battle of the Bands and it is two idol groups fighting in each Splatfest so in total, there are four idols. One group would represent the Inklings, and the other would represent the Octolings. The New Squidbeak Splatoon saga is over, this one would how the Squidbeak Splatoon was formed. I have an idea for the story mode if anyone wants to hear it.
They said before Splatoon 3 launched, that it would finish up the story arc started in the first game. Seeing how central the great turf war was to that arc, I can’t see them going back to the start of the great turf war. I think it’s more likely that the next game will have some element of the ancient past come into play, but not actually set in the past.
Here is a idea Sheldon invents a time machine and you the player go back in time and then fight in the war on the side you choose. to defeat someone like mr.grizz who went back in time to try to get a better ending like flowey in Undertale and then it leads to Splatoon one so then you go back to the future wrapping everything up.
I rly want a remote island kind of vibe. Like with early day sea-inkling/octling/ray factions. Maybe like warring pirate clans or smt like that. I also want a 4 person boy band for the idols this game.
Seeing how past could be real valid for a story, how about this: Old styles and PROTOTYPES of weapons, elsewise some weapons you won’t see in games ahead of the timeline for the cause of being “illegal or unfair” in the game of turf wars. More about the prototype idea: You get a base weapon, and kinda like a baseplate your able to add attachments to edit it your way, of course this will have to be limited so people don’t just abuse it, but I would see it as interesting if one could make a weapon faster but weaker, or slower that packs more of a punch. I dunno what else to think for the past.
If present won I’m sure Nintendo would have found a way to make it interesting, like with chaos. Chaos ended up being a celebration of all types of cultures, and the closing to the story with octarians, the origins of inkfish, and how humans ‘ hopes and art moved onto the next species.
my actual list is this: -human involvement in some way -more customization (facial features, PANTS) -custom dorms instead of just lockers where you can have friends over -continuation of tableturf -splat 1 story mode bosses remastered -anarchy splatcast dlc (PLEASE) (we have ALL splat game's normal story mode for callie/marie, deepsea metro AND side order for pearl/marina, so where's deep cut's??) -a new playable species?! (such as sharks/manta rays/pre-mutation salmonids) -origins of npc characters (crusty sean, sheldon, shop owners) (could be included in anarchy splatcast dlc) -ORIGIN OF SPLAT 3 MC AND LIL BUDDY?! no one ever questioned why we just woke up in the middle of a deserted wasteland with a little salmonid companion?! -general story mode is pre gtw (judds arrival too)-> gtf -> rocketship landing (mr.grizz) -> reformation of society but its cahnged (as in, the things we ahve done in the past games have altered the in game past lore through means of time travel (LIKE JUDDS ARRIVAL- MAYBE WE USE THE SAME THING TO GO BACK?!))
what i think is going to happen is that there is going to be a spinoff game that is for the grate turf war and the next installment to the main pvp will come latter
I think the best for Splatoon 4 would be an ancient enemy returning from the past, OR an ancient solution to a current or Future problem. I would love to explore and loot ancient temples, ruins, tombs, dungeons, abandon places, ancient human places like Alterna and all on our quest to restore Capt Craig Cuttlefish. We could fight undead, help mummies, use magics, find treasure with Deep Cut, I really feel we should learn ancient magics with Callie and Marie like the Calamari Inkantation and help save the world from, again, either a present threat or a Future where our current tech just won't cut it. Also bring back Boy/Girl separate gear and hair, no more neutral for everything, so lazy
I honestly, still do not belive Nintendo will do the Great Turf War. That would switch the tone of the game to much, becouse lets not forget that lore wise The Great Turf War was a literal war, so unles they redcon it in to something fun , I cant see it happening. So what I think will happen could be the following: Team Past, The Squid Sisters were the idols representing Team Past, so I think there are 2 options. 1st, we could get a story of how The Squid Sisters became Inkopolis idols, but that does not mean we wont get anny new idols, we could see Inkopolis prewious idol group mentoring Callie and Marie with the way the very first Splatfest was set up after the Great Turf War, this way the game could be more of an interlude tying up lose ends, rather than an actual new saga. The 2nd option is that we simply will get a Splatoon 1 port or some sort of HD Remake for the Switch/Swith2. And following the DLC pattern, this works for both options. The Present DLC will thake place during the present time, maybe the mission on which Agent 3 an Cap'n Cuttlefish were before Octo Expansion, also we still do not know annythimg about the shop owner for witch Harmony is the current replacement and ofcourse Li'l Judd and his headset. Same for Team Future that would be a second DLC, which could foreshadow and/or lead in to Splatoon's 4 story. But I do like your take on an different region with Inklings and Octolings not affected by the Great Turf War. I always thought the next playable race would be the cuttlefish, I mean Cap'n Cuttlefish, you get the picture, but with the introduction of Big Man we can get whatever marine life form as long as Nintendo finds a plot explanation why it can use ink and swim in it
I was on present because I’m an Off The Hook fan but, I wanted past to win. Why? Because I really REALLY want young Cuttlefish and young DJ Octavio as the idol group for Splatoon 4. We can play as inklings and octolings before the great turf war! Edit: it would be like when octolings and inklings used to be friends and lived together. That would allow for both inks and octos to play multiplayer!
splatoon 4 MAYBE will be set in the great turf war. maybe we’ll get even more lore with the cuttlefish idols, which showed up in splatoon 2? in posters and stuff, i think. i also do want to theorise, maybe we’ll get to see younger versions of cuttlefish and dj octavio. i think we got only scrolls of those two!! i also think we WILL see agent four again. like they did in splatoon 3, with neo agent 3, we will most likely get neo agent 4 aswell.
how about this
story takes place after Splatoon 3
we are in a very archaeological city
where the Inklings and Octolings found and studied the past of the humans, and created their whole society and weapons, based on those finds
Feudal Japan, Medieval Europe, Ancient Egypt, ect.
That's actually interesting... I would like that lol
That is actually genius. I only thought of the Japan side of things but those other societies would work as well.
My OC Mable has always been fascinated with humans, and basically became an expert on them. Not to mention that she can translate every human language in existence.

Huh. Well in that case a great turf war game may be even more likely. People don’t go to war until they are adults, so I’m assuming the same applies in the splatoon universe. And with a lot of the splatoon players now being older, it actually makes more sense to have a game set during the war.

Remember the first Splatoon and how it had dorms? Yeah, I want that back too.
It didn't have dorms, that was just the loading screen.
It would be cool if they implemented that though
That would be good
It literally didn’t
clearly you haven’t played the first game at all
My thoughts:
The base game campaign could involve the Salmonids! They will be the main enemy force this time around. After all, it was the fishy fiends who tried to disrupt the Grand Fest by invading that special Grand Bowl stage. These Salmon Runs have been involved since S2, and they got BIG in S3.
The sea is calling like a siren, and no one will be able to ignore the screams of the Kings...or even something from much deeper waters.
YES! My thoughts exactly!! The Salmonids are gonna want their revenge for all the eggs taken from them. We learn Big Runs and Big Big Runs were only a dress rehearsal for something even more apocalyptic.
Someone or something has to be leading and commanding ALL Salmonids. Who?
That leader should be the brand new, Thanos-level antagonist going forward.
Who knows what's been going on under the waves??
remember that its more likely that this is based on the PAST, so we might get to see the origin of salmonids (and sharks/ manta rays/ jellyfish)
@@CallMiiEshmael Exactly. The Salmonids are gonna want their revenge and someone or something has to be commanding and leading them. But who?
@@tameikiotsuku I sure hope not. All I want out of the results of the Grand Festival is to have Callie and Marie play a major role going forward.
Hold up, great turf war story mode would go hard
I'm with you on Team Future! I was so upset when I saw the results. It didn't even seem like Team Future was there

We'll likely get future and present themed DLCs in Splatoon 4 if side order is anything to go off of, it's not like they're gonna be completely lost to time now.
Past was cracked I’m not even that good and I won a majority of my games
wants:
-A male-majority idol group, a male and female idol duo, or an all-male group
-16 hours worth of story mode
-apartments or walk-in closets as the next space decoration
-have DJ Octavio and Capt. cuttlefish make up and have their feud end
-antagonist (and antagonistic faction) relating to the winning result in the final splatfest
-variety in body types, and more hair options (especially for masculine options)
-have another pet for story mode, with a bit more customizability
They should add facial hair!
Tartar could work as a past based antagonist, trying to turn back time to the human era
I want all these thingsssss
If possible, playable salmonlings.
@@V0ID-WALKER-2004 Then that means that salmons evolved to be two different things
They should add things to do in the plaza, like sitting on the benches or emoting, maybe being able to interact with other players outside of turf war or battles, it’d make the game interesting. Heck add something like the lockers again, maybe apartments that your friends and you can decorate and you can live in the apartment and mess with stuff, also more customization, hairstyles and being able to change tentacles tips and fingertips, like how Frye and Marina have, and I mean tentacle tip changing like how Marina has, also they should add weather cycles, plus day and night cycles, weather like rain would slowly get rid of ink so you constantly need to put it back down, so matches can change very quickly, foggy does the same as it does in salmon run, maybe night matches add secret places and different maps, stuff like that could really change the gameplay
THIS IS SO TRUE
Maybe they can add chatting?
Chatting would be good but… there’s gonna be that one dude that messes it up
@@nyanmurai331 good point
Or just sell my clothes, especially the ones you get early on so you can receive the chunks out of them for selling them off. This way you can start accumulating chunks for much cheaper since you won't have tons of money or chunks yet. The earlier you get started the better. Or trade chunks for other types. Like say you have a lot run speed you never use but need special charge up. You could trade say 20 of them to someone else who's asking for the speed run in particular.
Maybe even have a shop where you can get high priced (old amiibo) gear or old weapon skins and ink tanks, via tons of chunks as currency or super sea snails. The prices are heavily reduced during special events like the splatfests and big run.
Special weapons could be rented out (in a similar vein to the grizzco weapons) for the modes splatfest usually takes away. These should have twists or be aestetically different to fit the splatfest theming outside the ink. like clam blitz turns into feeding a creature instead of throwing them into a basket. Win enough times yields you a pearl necklace (no ability slots but you can change its color).
Tower control can have fire works go off each time it reaches a checkpoint and the tower can either shrink or grow taller depending on who's losing/winning and where it is. Maybe some kind of low or high heel shoes could be a thing if you win enough games.
Splatzones should have fun shapes and you can get a light up key chain or hair clips. There would be multiple different ones.
Well, you might not directly go to the past, but another war might break out with a new species being the one trying to get more turf. Like a "history repeats itself" thing
Bro spoiled splatoon 4
story mode should have bigger story. more bosses. intense cutscenes. new antagonists like a rogue inkling/octoling who literally wounded idols and splatted them completely. an antagonist who'd punch you and hates your guts as a dangerous bully. i want like 12 or 17 bosses instead of boring 4.
Or 5
@@NickMario1 it is understandable that the most content was the weapons kit and hats and clothes but there's not much content added on story mode very much OTHER than DLC Yet it is frustrating that there's hardly any lore or ANY other places we can go like other countries. it's like we are stuck on one place and no more.
ah you just want an edgy game
Just say you want Splatoon Soulsborne, bro
Heck you could have the squid research team be a pretty big part of it. Maybe a group of humans is discovered by the inkling/octoling world. They might want human tech, so the campaign could be trying to get it. Of course ink probably wouldn’t hurt us, so maybe inkling and octoling ink causes cell death? A human final boss would also be kinda cool. Or heck maybe the story is about humans trying to integrate into squid society? They could pull a marina and have one of the idols be a human wearing a mask or something.
I think the main game is gonna continue with the modern system, with some new stuff as always but the main campaign issue this time will be... TIME TRAVEL. Young Cuttlefish, old versions of characters we know, the great Turf War, all of it. Main story takes us to the past... eventual DLC take us to the Future. Different musical vibe for each time setting.
We won’t go back to the Great Turf War. It’s the end of the saga. We’re going to have new lore, new characters, and a new setting.
Yesterday was history
Tomorrow is a mystery
But today is a gift, that is why the popular team is present.
Ashamed of the past
Afraid of the future
In conclusion, depressi-
Present!
Pretty sure the main players for present are the pearlina shippers.
My list for Splatoon 4;
* They should do body types for Inklings and Octolings.
* The next music group to have more males.
* The story mode ought to have more than 5 bosses.
I think the story mode should be at least 15 hours long. The past ones have only been like 8.
More Ranked Battle Modes? Shifty Stations Back ? Better matchmaking with good weapons and better Meta???
Body types? What do you mean?
@@nyanmurai331 probably like how Mii's have something... i dont know how to explain it actually
@@nyanmurai331 More shapes and sizes to choose from? every single inkling and octoling is the same height, and all have the same bodies with all of the same proportions, but they could easily add in some variety. If you google body types, maybe it'll make more sense, but basically, you can easily get a lot of variety through tiny little changes. Like how some people have wider hips, or broader shoulders
I feel like it could turn into being the Pokemon Arceus of Splatoon, almost a prologue to the original game. It could have more implications of past relatives to the characters we know now, going over the lore we already know but being able to play it rather than read it in scrolls or diarys
Splatoon 4 Might be Added for the Nintendo Switch 2.

I think it'd be really cool if, considering with the menu in splatoon 1 showing dorms, they fully implemented this, instead of just a locker to decorate, maybe even the whole (or majority) of the dorm!
Splatoon 4’s hub will probably be inspired by traditional Japanese buildings and culture
Ive only been playing splatoon for a little over a year at this point bit something that was always in the back of my mind was a dorm room kind of similar to how lockers work! Like image you just start off with one room, a bed, and a bathroom and the wallpaper is a little stained and ripped but as you develop through the gane you can buy a larger room, cooler furniture like bunk beds, or if we wanna go all in on the co-op features you could share a dorm with another friend and decorate together! Honestly this probably won't be added but if i were to suggest a feature I would really REALLY want this lol
I bet the story mode will be they find a Time Machine and some new antagonist uses it to go back in time so you have to go back in time to end the fight before it begins all terminator style
I hope it’s not an educational game like Mario’s Time Machine . 😂
Tbh since team past won, i feel it would be rlly cool if the game was set during the great turf war and stuff and focused on captain cuttlefish's lore
We won’t get a Great Turf War game. Nintendo said the Squidbeak Splatoon and Octarian Menace arc is done.

my only wish is that they give more attention to deep cut, make em part of the next main story they were so neglected in 3
I'm very interested to see what Nintendo will do for the next Splatoon game now that the original trilogy has come to a close. I like the idea of going into the past to see the start of the Great Turf War to see either side of the inklings and octolings with choosing to play as an inkling or an octoling.
A few things,
1. New hair options for Octolings (heck maybe we’ll share some hairstyles with inklings!)
2. The dorms
3. Maybe a feudal era village in Splatoon?
U are literally me. I thought it would be dumb for present to win because nothing would change and i was torn between past and future but ultimitley joined future.
an open world splatoon game would be nice
We need a splatoon battle royale. Like 16 players at once.
Yes thats what i been saying splatoon 4 needs a battle royale
@GreatBumi so you want over 1000 missiles being spammed at once?
Wait, the Past? We have the Octoling War... or the founding of Inkopolis.
The previous Final Splatfests didn't effect their next game. They were a forced choice, an equivocation; the results would have been the same but framed differently. So the winner doesn't tell us much about the next game, but the theme of the splatfest might.
List for Splatoon 4:
1. This might be weird.. (personal opinion) but playable miis? Idk.
2. Dorms. Please.
3. Maybe like Ninjala something like a dorm, a base that's like a dorm of somethin'?
4. Pets maybe?
5. Splatfest tattoos.
6. RANKED splatfest battles, please.
7. Chapters in story mode.
8. Maybe idk new species when we reach new levels?
9. MALE. IDOLS.
10. Cutscenes in story mode, please..
Idk what else haha.
MALE IDOLS, omg, yes. But we have Big Man already. MORE MALE IDOLS
??? Splatoon 3 already has cutscenes.
A male dominated idol would be a disaster. This is a shooting game against women.
I think Splatoon 4 should take place at a tropical resort away from Inkopolis and Splatsville.
It's real bur as an april fools version
I've always wanted to see Splatoon Project 3, get green lighted by Nintendo, even if it's for Splatoon 4.
Either way I'm hyped, I've wanted to play at the beginning instead of hoping in at the end like always.
The problem of a full game in the past in inkopolis Is that the main multiplayer would not have new technology sush as Dualies, splatanas, Brellas, stringers and Splatoon 3 spawnpoints cuz they were not invented at the time
I was thinking on maybe the main game could take place in the present while the storymode takes place in the past.
A "Beginnings" would be better off as another DLC expansion, much like what Octo Expansion and Side Order are. But that's it.
I have no desire to see Splatoon 4 centered around this theme and be made a prequel to the first 3 games.
If anything, just give Callie and Marie, the winning side in the Grand Festival, a prominent role going forward.
Ah, I see what you’re getting at! Seeing the past would be so awesome, and it would help with lore!
They need to do a local multiplayer mode like other shooters...like a 4 player split screen or something would be fun with friends in same room stuff........
Today is the last day Nintendo could possibly announce the Switch 2 reveal for September. You better get that Tingle costume ready 😫😫
I’m hoping Nintendo will kind of do a breath of the wild style uncovering history type thing for the next splatoon game. Like finding old weapons/blueprints from hundreds of years ago. I also hope we have more of a focus on returning and glorifying old returning stages rather than butchering them like 3 did.
I hope we keep the same characters but add more, I feel like the series will continue to move forward in time but will just focus on nostalgia and learning about/uncovering the past.
Remember when deep cut need to have their one agents, I was on team present
I just chose team present because it’s my genuine answer to the question also I started with splat 2 so I guess there’s bias there. I just didn’t want future to win cause I was thinking that it mean that the map design would remain the same and I think it’s at its worst in Splatoon 3
What if agent 4 returned, that would be epic
“We hope you can witness the epic finale of the splatastic saga.”
Doesn’t anyone remember that from the direct?
This. People need to realize we won’t get a Great Turf War game because Nintendo wants to move on from that.
What do I think?
I think the Multiplayer does take place after Splatoon 3. But however, the Campaign is about the Great Turf War. Your player enters what seems to be a lab, where everyone is there, the Idols, Cuttlefish, even DJ Octavio.
The campaign takes place in a simulation of the past. Helping your player learn the history of the Great Turf War, Assassin's Creed style. The reason for this is probably so they can ace a test they are doing in school. lol
TBF I did only join in like the middle of Splatoon 2 so I don't know anything abt Splatoon 1, however, I do think it would be interesting to show something like being able to work with other agents, which could be NPCs or co-op players. They could make side order a bigger thing, since that's Pearl and Marina's story. Odds are, they'll do the same for deep cut. If all of the past celebrities joined callie and Marie as agents, it would be very cool if each celebrity had their own unique boost or skillset to help with the mission, or kettle, or whatever. I'd definitely like to see more of deepcut's backstory, as they seem to be such interesting characters.
If it was before the great turf war, having Octavio and Cuttlefish as the new news people would be interesting
I doubt it’s going to take place in the past. More likely it’s going to be a continuation of the series following the theme of the past such as nostalgia. Remember how splatocaplypse we thought we were going to see a wasteland? Yeah… more than likely it’s going to be a fourth installment of the series only except it’s splatoon returning to its rootsz
We might see Calamari County!
what I mainly hope for a new Splatoon is something too shake and push the franchise forward. So, this is how I think they could achieve this:
- the game is set in the past during the Great Turf War.
- new art style.
- all weapons are new (with the exception of the Bamboozler for lore reasons).
- all modes are new (with the exception of Turf War, for lore reasons as well).
- maps are bigger, and all-new.
- the gameplay will focus more on strategy (it is a war after all).
- Inklings/Octolings are older (young adults).
to sum up, the game is a reboot.
the idea is simple: attract new players and explore new gameplay ideas, without having to deal with the already crowded universe of Splatoon. The game would have a overall more "serious" tone to it, but would still be colorful and fun.
As long as there're no weird timeline jumps like Zelda I'm cool with that. I just wanted OTH to win, man.
I have an idea for the place in Splatoon 4: Inkotami - a village/town that keeps in touch with its ancient past while embracing the ever changes in the present with anticipation of the unknown future
I've never played Splatoon games not Splatoon 1 on Wii U or Splatoon 2 and 3 on Switch, but i'm more interested defienitily Dplatoon 3 and if Splatoon 4 is going to be BIG and for Switch 2 I believe i'm getting it a new Splatoon video is a nice video in my birthday thank you! 🎉😊
You should definitely play Splatoon 3. It’s really fun and online is great
@@lagzie2301 okay I need to found Splatoon 3 in a cheap price
Dont forget that splatoon 2 already had the effect of the great turf war, such as Octavio leading the octarians (Sry if I spelled that wrong) To the great zapfish for energy. When the inklings won the war, the Octos were left with nothing, so when they found a underground area, they wanted it to be powered. THAT area could save them. Thats what lead to the disappearance of the Great Zapfish, the one soul thing that was powering the enemy, inkings. I *did* get this from the *VERY* long i donno 2-3 or 4 hour long splatoon 1-3 timeline video, but the effects from the war were impacted to splatoon 2. (My opinion that I will say now has nothing to do with the video :3) Now for splatoon 4? Because past won, I think that splatoon will add something about the war, but its unlikely that it will be the effects of it, because of splatoon 2. So we *do* have a chance to get a playable war part. But that would be *VERY* hard, and having that much of a side part to the game *needs* to affect the actual multiplayer mode itself. But splatoon wouldn't go back from their progess, why would they delete their modes *just* to fit a single player campaign? So really, we cant be sure what splatoon will be, Splatoon 1 had marie win, but it affected *CALLIE* then splatoon 2's win for Chaos changed things for splatoon 3, and the lose for team order got a whole single player mode for itself. SO we *will* know that Splatoon will most likely use the other choices for the future game, like Present & Future.
*Thank you for reading this super long thing on what I think, im a yapper, so im sorry for this essay :(*
What if the story took place in the past and the salmonoids suddenly invaded the place and maybe agent 3 or someone else could save it. I think that would be pretty cool
Really hope they wait longer to release! It would be amazing for us to almost forget about it and then BOOM ….. preview of the new Splatoon game….. and they may even decide to just use a name and not a number, who knows! I will definitely continue to play on Splatoon 3 for a while yet.
I think It's Probably the area caverns city like flintstones and croods or Someone,The Present lost but They Added DLC like ties together the single player compained on the worlds area depicted From Splatoon 2 Octo Expansion and Splatoon 3 Side order They Call Present Fuse,Present Connection or Present Faded etc. Can Return Tartar and Order I Guess... Abiously Pearl and Marina They Kidnapped and Also the final boss they fused IT! With Relationship.
That logo would actually be dope
The fact I was on team Past- THE WAY I SHRIEKED WHEN WE WON. GOOD JOB ALL THREE TEAMS
Your theories are so cool and I was kinda thinking that too 😅
I really think the campaign is going to be the great turf war and the grizzco equivalent would be the turf war, the stages you play on in that, after "winning" that turf would be added to the multiplayer, would also decrease the number of weapons significantly.
We need Splatoon Island to become canon.

We might only see squid sisters in the next game because past won and probably a sequel of deep cut and off the hook because they lost
Or we won’t see any of them in the next game.
@@Corgipon again that would not make sense bc the splatfest was based on splatoon 1,2 and 3 and since past won it would be a scenery of splatoon 1
Theres two ways I feel we can see splatoon go based off of the final splatfest aka grand fest. First one could be going all the way back to the Great Turf War, it was mentioned way back in Splatoon 1 it would be a great way to end off this almost decade old saga in another way and finally see what actions started that war, second as one person already suggested, we continue the timeline but have the next game be about uncovering the past and possibly secrets of the humans before their extinction, this could also have the same impact as the Great Turf War path but we learn more as to how all of this even started and how the human race not only made itself extinct along with other species but allowed some other species to evolve
If team past could mean more development and leaning more about Inkling and Octarian relations before their war I’d be really excited for that. Could have an octarian or multiple octarian NPC’s living on the surface even. Big Man in his concept art was originally considered to even be an octarian. I mean I’m happy they changed their minds there, I love the Big Man we got. Maybe they thought they’d better wait one more game before completely mending the gap and letting octarians live on the surface again. I’d also like the know more about the war and the first Squidbeak Splatoon before the new one
Realistically i think Splatoon 3 would be the next console's launch title, since it's already a finished game. The best bet for the next game's launch date would be around 2-3 years from now around 2027, which gives the devs plenty of time to develop, balance, and polish the game.
I agree, they should really just take their time with it, because expectations for this next game are high and the devs want to not only meet them but exceed them, especially with the main story
(side note: i would love a story based around the Splatlands and how they developed, or a more immersive story focused on the fall of humanity because RotM was kinda lacking)
From what we know about the Switch 2 my guess was that Splatoon 3 was originally going to be a launch title and when Nintendo corporate decieded to delay the Switch 2 they shifted the Splatoon devs to pump out Splatoon 3 as a stop gap (probably using that splatfest as a catalyst with chaos -> anarchy...).
The reason I believe this to be a possible explanation because Nvidia employees have been leaking that the Switch 2’s custom Ampere (RTX30) based APU has been done for a while now, and has since been augmented with a small amount of upgrades from the Ada Lovelace (RTX40) architecture and has seen a slight node-shrink. With current best guesses being that Nintendo are waiting to reduce power consumption, production cost, and possibly even allowing handheld mode to be passively cooled while moving the fan into the dock.
With that theory I feel it explains why the Splatoon 3 developers were given flack at the beginning for being inexperienced, and would lead me to believe that Splatoon 4 would be a major launch title with the possibility for a huge story mode and new game modes. While I feel that the “splatfests decided major game direction” take is both a stretch but also has good evidence. So if it’s a true observation I’d guess that all 3 idol groups could have each been a major part of the story mode and the Grand Fest would decide who got the lime light.
Basically I feel that given how long the switch 2 has been “done” from a base hardware point of view, and how popular Splatoon has become I doubt that Splatoon 4 Is far away, Switch 2 WILL be announced by the end of the Fiscal Year and I’d expect Splatoon 4 to be one of the launch titles.
Goddamnit that's already fucking 2 final splatfests that i've missed and i really need to start tuning into more splatfests. Honestly, if splatoon 4 ever will come out, then i really hope i don't miss the final splatfest for that game.
Young and strong Capt. Cuttlefish and Squidbeak Splatoon storyline imminent?
There will be more fests and big runs, but this was a send off for the final update
Maybe the story could be like Halo Reach's. Focusing on the Great Turf War with your squad of fellow Squids who one by one meet an unfortunate fate till you're the last one remaining to fight against Octavio while you ultimately lose, you unknowingly gave the Squidbeak Splatoon the time they needed to gather their forces for the final Turf War, which you play out as one of their members. The ending can cut back to present day where Cuttlefish along with Callie, Marie, Sheldon, and Octavio are visiting the sight of the final Turf War having finally put their differences beside them following the ending of Splatoon 3.
This way not only do we still get new characters but also it can cover their bases for covering the Great Turf War without focusing on the Squidbeak Splatoon.
I really hope Splatoon 4 will play in a beach, modern themed world/city (like project Splatoon 3) and the main story on a island where deep cut is part of (no squid sisters anymore), a past themed dlc where the story is about the great turfwar.
My theory for the next game:
- Squid sisters are the idols again
-Story mode could be a a recap story of the great turf war being told by captain cuddlefish. And we play as one of his teammates.
-DLC could be something involving deep cut
-off the hook and deep cut are making music for multiplayer matches
I don’t think so bc this is the ending for the new squidbeak splatoon
We need new idols and we need to move on from the Squidbeak Splatoon.
imagine all the agents going through a time machine and come out in our human time, scattered around like in sonicc adventure 2 kind of concept, and slowly finding each other through the story so you can, tzhe more agents you unlock thoughout the story, switch player like in gtav, and idk. maybe a point in the story were something hapens to the agents, like a transformation, or just that they find diving suits, so the other half of the story doesnt play in a openworld human city, but in the ocean, at diffrent depths with diffrent ocean bioms, and at the end the deepsea, where they somehow get 12k years back into the future. i mean, there are alot of epic ideas, so splatoon 4 can only be good, i even hope it to be the second best game after gta6, in terms of epicness, soundtrack, and fun and inovation
I really would like for the game to focus on the events of the Great Turf War, along with the connections between Craig and Octavio.
And as much as I know this may never happen, I would like for the story of Craig and Octavio to be handled almost like the fan comic: Dissonant Melody
I want it to take place in the old ancient turf wars between inklings and octolings. That would be an amazing and interesting thing to implement
Even though I picked present because I wanted off the hook to win, I defiantly wanted past to win, glad they did
The story should take place in the Calamari County before the Great Turf having the game show what happened before the Great Turf War. The Idol group is called Battle of the Bands and it is two idol groups fighting in each Splatfest so in total, there are four idols. One group would represent the Inklings, and the other would represent the Octolings. The New Squidbeak Splatoon saga is over, this one would how the Squidbeak Splatoon was formed. I have an idea for the story mode if anyone wants to hear it.
Hey, Nin10land. How's your Tingle costume coming along? 🤣🤣🤣
I completely agree. Not sure, but maybe they may even take on onboard that April fools dlc and make that happen too.
I think that it would be really cool if cuttlefish and octavio were the idols 😎👍
They said before Splatoon 3 launched, that it would finish up the story arc started in the first game. Seeing how central the great turf war was to that arc, I can’t see them going back to the start of the great turf war. I think it’s more likely that the next game will have some element of the ancient past come into play, but not actually set in the past.
How to summarize Splatoon in a nutshell: An unexpected GOLDMINE!🏅
Here is a idea Sheldon invents a time machine and you the player go back in time and then fight in the war on the side you choose. to defeat someone like mr.grizz who went back in time to try to get a better ending like flowey in Undertale and then it leads to Splatoon one so then you go back to the future wrapping everything up.
I remember that someone at Nintendo said that splatoon games take place in real time. For an example Splatoon 2 takes place 2 years after Splatoon 1,
I rly want a remote island kind of vibe. Like with early day sea-inkling/octling/ray factions. Maybe like warring pirate clans or smt like that. I also want a 4 person boy band for the idols this game.
Seeing how past could be real valid for a story, how about this: Old styles and PROTOTYPES of weapons, elsewise some weapons you won’t see in games ahead of the timeline for the cause of being “illegal or unfair” in the game of turf wars.
More about the prototype idea: You get a base weapon, and kinda like a baseplate your able to add attachments to edit it your way, of course this will have to be limited so people don’t just abuse it, but I would see it as interesting if one could make a weapon faster but weaker, or slower that packs more of a punch.
I dunno what else to think for the past.
If present won I’m sure Nintendo would have found a way to make it interesting, like with chaos. Chaos ended up being a celebration of all types of cultures, and the closing to the story with octarians, the origins of inkfish, and how humans ‘ hopes and art moved onto the next species.
lit will enjoy splat 4 solely if they do judd lore with his owner (scientist that created him and telephone goop)
my actual list is this:
-human involvement in some way
-more customization (facial features, PANTS)
-custom dorms instead of just lockers where you can have friends over
-continuation of tableturf
-splat 1 story mode bosses remastered
-anarchy splatcast dlc (PLEASE) (we have ALL splat game's normal story mode for callie/marie, deepsea metro AND side order for pearl/marina, so where's deep cut's??)
-a new playable species?! (such as sharks/manta rays/pre-mutation salmonids)
-origins of npc characters (crusty sean, sheldon, shop owners) (could be included in anarchy splatcast dlc)
-ORIGIN OF SPLAT 3 MC AND LIL BUDDY?! no one ever questioned why we just woke up in the middle of a deserted wasteland with a little salmonid companion?!
-general story mode is pre gtw (judds arrival too)-> gtf -> rocketship landing (mr.grizz) -> reformation of society but its cahnged (as in, the things we ahve done in the past games have altered the in game past lore through means of time travel (LIKE JUDDS ARRIVAL- MAYBE WE USE THE SAME THING TO GO BACK?!))
dont know why it struck through sorry
what i think is going to happen is that there is going to be a spinoff game that is for the grate turf war and the next installment to the main pvp will come latter
I think the best for Splatoon 4 would be an ancient enemy returning from the past, OR an ancient solution to a current or Future problem. I would love to explore and loot ancient temples, ruins, tombs, dungeons, abandon places, ancient human places like Alterna and all on our quest to restore Capt Craig Cuttlefish. We could fight undead, help mummies, use magics, find treasure with Deep Cut, I really feel we should learn ancient magics with Callie and Marie like the Calamari Inkantation and help save the world from, again, either a present threat or a Future where our current tech just won't cut it. Also bring back Boy/Girl separate gear and hair, no more neutral for everything, so lazy
The Splatoon series has characters who are pretty much gods Ngl
What do you think?
"The Present" winning could have meant a groundhog day type story.
I honestly, still do not belive Nintendo will do the Great Turf War. That would switch the tone of the game to much, becouse lets not forget that lore wise The Great Turf War was a literal war, so unles they redcon it in to something fun , I cant see it happening. So what I think will happen could be the following: Team Past, The Squid Sisters were the idols representing Team Past, so I think there are 2 options. 1st, we could get a story of how The Squid Sisters became Inkopolis idols, but that does not mean we wont get anny new idols, we could see Inkopolis prewious idol group mentoring Callie and Marie with the way the very first Splatfest was set up after the Great Turf War, this way the game could be more of an interlude tying up lose ends, rather than an actual new saga. The 2nd option is that we simply will get a Splatoon 1 port or some sort of HD Remake for the Switch/Swith2.
And following the DLC pattern, this works for both options. The Present DLC will thake place during the present time, maybe the mission on which Agent 3 an Cap'n Cuttlefish were before Octo Expansion, also we still do not know annythimg about the shop owner for witch Harmony is the current replacement and ofcourse Li'l Judd and his headset. Same for Team Future that would be a second DLC, which could foreshadow and/or lead in to Splatoon's 4 story.
But I do like your take on an different region with Inklings and Octolings not affected by the Great Turf War. I always thought the next playable race would be the cuttlefish, I mean Cap'n Cuttlefish, you get the picture, but with the introduction of Big Man we can get whatever marine life form as long as Nintendo finds a plot explanation why it can use ink and swim in it
We are the Splatoon 4.
_("For Faith" from Yakuza 4 starts playing)_
It would be nice to be able go back to the basics of Splatoon
Ideas
Past:great turf war
Present:continuing current storyline
Future:something new
I was on present because I’m an Off The Hook fan but, I wanted past to win. Why? Because I really REALLY want young Cuttlefish and young DJ Octavio as the idol group for Splatoon 4. We can play as inklings and octolings before the great turf war!
Edit: it would be like when octolings and inklings used to be friends and lived together. That would allow for both inks and octos to play multiplayer!
we should also get a switch port of splatoon 1 and be able to play everything we currently have on the next nintendo console
splatoon 4 MAYBE will be set in the great turf war. maybe we’ll get even more lore with the cuttlefish idols, which showed up in splatoon 2? in posters and stuff, i think. i also do want to theorise, maybe we’ll get to see younger versions of cuttlefish and dj octavio. i think we got only scrolls of those two!! i also think we WILL see agent four again. like they did in splatoon 3, with neo agent 3, we will most likely get neo agent 4 aswell.
