I feel like octolings will come with a holiday update. Halloween, Christmas, or if it exists, an official Octopus/Squid day.
Or, perhaps, Thanksgiving, but only if the turkey that inklings use are octopi or something.
you do realise that octolings in general are not much of a secret if you watch trailers for the game. besides most new players that play the game would want to look up single player walkthroughs that just might have tips on octolings and the levels they are on. its no secret

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOh I didn't even think of it like that! yes they could have some sort of piglrim thanksgiving history type of.......yea xD
that'd be so cool!
Make playable Octoling only available after beating Octo Valley?
Though yeah, it seems like playable Octoling is going to be a thing in the future (though how far in the future is a good question).

What about the other players ? wouldn't it be weird for them to see Octolings playing with squids when they're supposed to be bad guys?
Edit : I just thought about it, maybe people who plays with Octolings will only be able to play only with people who finished the campaign, or maybe they will be teamed with other Octoling players. But wouldn't that divide the player-base even ?
Also how will they wear hats with their overgrown tentacles? will their be male ones too?
I'm not against it BTW, I'm just trying to find solutions to potential problems. ^^
I mean, just having them in multiplayer isn't exactly spoiling anything, since they are just a normal Octoling in the multiplayer. Most people would probably think, oh, that is some kind of unlockable, how do I unlock it?

well, It might still spoil their existence. It's just that I think it would be weird to see Octarians and Inklings together considering they are war enemies. Kinda goes against the established lore I think...

True, that would be a small bit odd, but I don't see it as a major problem. The only-playable-with-other-Octolings thing on the other hand, yeah that would be a base-dividing problem.
The hats, on the other hand, could be a problem, but I'm sure it's manageable.
As for male Octolings,
one of the Sunken Scrolls shows a male Octoling, I think DJ Octavio as an Octoling to be specific, so they definitely could exist. But if they don't exist,
Nintendo can just make a male Octoling model; I'm sure it's doable if they plan on adding playable Octolings to add another gender.
Of course, it's entirely possible to just have a single-player side-campaign starring an Octoling; they wouldn't need to wear hats, or be implemented in multiplayer (with whatever problems that may cause), and there wouldn't need to be male Octolings (though it would be nice to see one in gameplay), you could just have challenging levels played through with an Octoling.
I'd rather have Octolings in multiplayer, but that's a decent workaround as well.

Ah, it looked like they either made peace or at least have slightly more amicable relations in the credits after beating Octo Valley. Either way, it's not like Octolings are deeply hidden in Octo Valley, I think they show up in level 7 or 8, and have a level dedicated to them in every world after that (and show up a few times in other levels).

Seriously, people. Why do you make it so needlessly difficult?
Smash Bros Brawl also didn't implement a needlessly complex system for online, disallowing matches with characters you haven't unlocked yet.
Online you could battle with any character, regardless whether or not you unlocked it.
And I saw nobody complaining about that.
So why would that be a problem with Splatoon, with playable Octolings?
I am sure pretty much everyone associated with Splatoon, knows about the Octolings already.
And for the few who don't, it might be a pleasant surprise, garnering interest.
So seriously, if they are supposed to be playable at some point, just make em playable. Period
