We have a piece of surprising Splatoon news today, coming from Hong Kong.

Twitter follower @koopa630kit has found what appears to be an official Chinese version of the Splatoon Ikasu Artbook in Hong Kong. This is the first time we’ve ever seen a Chinese version of the artbook.

What makes things more interesting is that the book is completely in Chinese. The reason why this is peculiar is because Nintendo has never localized Splatoon and Splatoon 2 in Chinese. Let’s hope the artbook paves the way for that to happen.
