In our previous article, we discussed the gameplay of Splatoon 3 and its story development. In this article, we are going to explore the setting of Splatoon 3 and where it takes place on our beloved planet, Earth.

Now let us dive deeper into the world of Splatoon to understand where exactly it is located.

The World of Splatoon

Splatoon’s setting in a post-apocalyptic world creates an interest in understanding how exactly its world came to be. A devastating event known as "the Downfall" is described as a global event where seawater flooded the cities, drowning the world in an environmental cataclysm (Source: [article-actions][2]).

H2. Where Does the Flooding Occur?
Flooding is a major key characteristic of Splatoon’s world setting, known as The Splatlands. It was shown in the game’s announcement that much of the world is covered in flood plains, with some areas even displaying scenes of abandoned buildings, structures and infrastructure underwater, representing the devastating effects of the catastrophic seawater flooding.

Some further information about the Splatoon timeline’s early years is not explained completely in the game, as an artist’s vision or to promote suspense, leaving many possibilities wide open for interpretation and guessing where the world of Splatoon can only be guessed from external official sources, but that isn't in accordance with the official information.
Based on the official sources you given, I will give this writing a 9/10 since both the Splatoon developers.
