During Inkopolis News in Splatoon 2, the studio screen displays current events. But have you ever wondered what that screen looks like after the broadcast is finished?
Because the studio glass in Inkopolis Square acts as a solid barrier, normal gameplay prevents players from seeing behind the main broadcast screen.
Luckily, Inkopolis Square made its grand return in Splatoon 3 as part of the Wave 2 Expansion Pass. Even better? Splatoon 3 is famous for a glitch that lets you clip right through walls by rapidly shifting into squid form between an NPC and a solid barrier. Combine that with the game's photo mode, and you can capture some inkcredibly fresh, out-of-bounds screenshots!
But... Once you actually clip back there, you'll notice something strange. The screen has absolutely no texture. It seems it was never textured to begin with, or the file simply broke when the developers ported the Square over to Splatoon 3.
Splatoon 2 may not have a simple way to clip through the walls of the Square just yet, but if the player moves their camera really fast on a wall, they will be able to see what it looks like on the other side.
But what's this? The screen does have a texture on the other side.
With that said, here is what the studio screen looks like in both Splatoon games...
Splatoon 2:
Splatoon 3:
This same texture also appears in the leaked Splatoon 2 developer debug build.
