Considering Octolings are pretty much supposed to be evil Inklings, similar in abilities, I don't think this is indication that you'll be able to play as them.
I dunno, though, maybe they'll let us, but this doesn't say all that much IMO.
I don't recall saying it was an indication. At any rate, many people seem to want Octolings to be playable, so I figured I would share the screenshot here.
Hopefully there will be some kind of game mode in the future where one side are Octolings, the other are Inklings. I don't see why not, unless they just don't want to put the small amount of effort into that. It'd be pretty cool to see Octolings in other colours. So far I think they've only been purple, which is a fine colour, but still. I want to play as them!
