What do you all think we are getting after the update?

I probably make it sound simpler than it is.
But I am sure that would be much simpler to do, than doing some of the other ideas, that people are suggesting.

It's not simple at all. They would have to completely remake all the gear models to fit the Octoling. That's a lot of work, not just a simple "adjustment".

Only the head-gear, due to the Octoling-hair being that much bigger.

Everything else works perfectly.
After all, Octolings have the exact same body proportions as Inklings. ;)

There is very little chance that Octolings won't be playable later after the tease on their tumblr...

We’ve received a sketch from one of our researchers. Looks like an Octoling… Hey! We’ve seen this before. Looks like a false alarm. Wait a minute. Something’s different here… Whoa! WHOOOOA!

See, thing is, what if they'd already put a bunch of work towards implementing playable Octolings? What if they'd always had it planned, but simply didn't have the feature ready at launch?

It may be stupid to assume that adding these features doesn't take a lot of work, but neither is it too bright to assume how much work has already been put in.

More single-player stuff is possible. Maybe an Octoling mode (would make the tumblr post about Octolings make sense, at least to me) where you play as an Octoling and the enemies are Inklings with various weapons (and the final level is Cap'n Cuttlefish backed up by Agents 1, 2 and 3), or maybe just new levels. Or a Hard Mode, I'd like that. Or all of the above.
I saw Octoling amiibo in this thread, and that would be cool as well, though I don't see it happening any time in the near future (but I'd probably get it if it did). Perhaps we could get more amiibo functionality. Either just themed clothes (2-star stuff, like the other amiibo gear), or more challenge levels (like on the Splatoon amiibo).
And maybe playable Octolings in multiplayer modes. That's a possibility as well, and I wouldn't have a problem with that happening.
Also, more stages.

They're of course going to add more maps and weapons, and probably gear as well. I'm honestly not sure there will be much past that. The way they talk about Rainmaker makes it seem like the only upcoming mode, but it could just be the only one currently in the works. (with plans for more modes to be released afterwards) I think we'll see around 15 maps total, and around 100 weapons when the updates are complete.
