Octolings won’t be playable in Splatoon 2 until Octo Expansion arrives this summer. However, some folks have managed to hack them into the game in large part because files for these characters already exist. A few players who have done this have also gone online as Octolings, which Nintendo apparently wasn’t happy about.
We’re hearing reports that some players who hacked in Octolings have been banned by Nintendo. The company is sending out emails about the restriction that affects all of Splatoon 2’s online multiplayer.
