<p>After two years, Splatoon 2’s development appears to be winding down. It has received an expansion and this weekend Nintendo is hosting the <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/06/nintendo_announces_splatoon_2s_final_splatfest_chaos_vs_order">final Splatfest</a>. After this, though, future support will be limited to balance adjustments and monthly league matches.</p>
<p>So, what’s next for the Inkling and Octoling? Speaking to Weekly <a class="external" href="https://www.famitsu.com/">Famitsu</a> magazine, Splatoon Producer Hisashi Nogami said the team hadn’t thought about the future of the series just yet, as they’ve been so busy with the constant stream of updates for <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/splatoon_2">Splatoon 2</a></strong>.</p>
<p>In saying this, Nogami did explain how something <em>might</em> happen if support for the series continued (translation below courtesy of <a class="external" href="https://twitter.com/bk2128">BlackKite</a>):</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Splatoon 2’s production started moving right after 1 was released. Now we also had production for Octo Expansion so we’re fully focused on the updates, and we still haven’t thought of the future.</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>For future plans, we’ll think of them after everything is over.</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>We’re not yet at a phase where we can make a promise, but we’d like to return the favour in some sort of way to many people who have supported us. If you continue to support us, it might turn into reality.</p>
