Nintendo releasing Splatoon 2 artwork isn’t an uncommon occurrence, as it often had official images to celebrate special occasions. Most notably, there were often new pictures released around every Splatfest. One appeared around the time of the June 2019 Splatfest, showing Off the Hook with a narwhal and unicorn.
