{{Quote|See and be seen in this bustling city center. It's the place to hang out, gear up, and of course, join the hottest sport in town: Ink battles!|{{S}}{{'s}} official website}}

'''Inkopolis''' is a large city in [[Inkadia]] (also known as Greater Inkopolis) that appears in all three games in the {{Ss}}, being the main setting of the first two games and one of the main settings (alongside [[Splatsville]]) of the third. Many different species live there, such as [[Inkling]]s, [[Octoling]]s, and [[jellyfish]], and it contains locations such as [[Inkopolis Plaza]] (the main hub of {{S}} and one of the main hubs of {{S3}}), [[Inkopolis Square]] (the main hub of {{S2}} and one of the main hubs of ''Splatoon 3''), and various [[stage]]s on which battles take place.

==History==
Inkopolis was created long after Earth had been submerged by rising sea levels and its land-dwelling inhabitants, such as [[human]]s, were wiped out. After 12,000 years, [[Octarian|octopuses]] and [[Inkling|squids]] eventually evolved to become land-living creatures and lived together in harmony. However, all that changed when the sea levels rose again. They began fighting over the remaining habitable land in the [[Great Turf War]], causing the Octarians to go into hiding after they lost the war.

==Locations==
===Inkopolis Plaza===

'''Inkopolis Plaza''' is the hub area of {{S}}. From here, players can access various types of [[mode]]s and [[shop]]s as well as interact with other players' Inklings they have battled with recently or with those who recently posted a post to Miiverse. It is the heart of Inkopolis.
As part of the {{S3EP}}, Inkopolis Plaza returns as an alternate hub area in {{S3}}.

==Trivia==
* The layout and design of Inkopolis is based on the city of [[wikipedia:Shibuya|Shibuya]] in Tokyo, Japan.
* In the games, it is impossible to use [[weapon]]s in the main hub areas in Inkopolis. However, in the [[Splatoon (manga)|''Splatoon'' manga]], [[Goggles (character)|Goggles]], [[Rider (character)|Rider]], and [[Headphones (character)|Headphones]] are seen swimming through ink trails in Inkopolis, while Rider is seen performing an ink flick on Goggles.
* Inkopolis is connected to [[Splatsville]] via a "sophisticated transportation network" that allows Inklings and Octolings to travel to the stages in Greater Inkopolis from Splatsville.<ref>{{NES}} [https://www.nintendo.com/whatsnew/detail/2021/new-splatoon-3-details-from-the-squid-research-lab/ New ''Splatoon 3'' details from the Squid Research Lab – Nintendo]</ref> Additionally, [[Hammerhead Bridge]] connects Greater Inkopolis to [[the Splatlands]].
* The adjectival form and/or [[wp:Demonym|demonym]] for Inkopolis is "Inkopolitan", as mentioned in some dialogue and in [[Splashtag]] [[title]]s.
