Sure enough, there they are on the poster in the corner.

Why are they there? Who knows! But it's wild.

Splatoon 2 did take a lot of inspiration from rap, especially the DLC. Wonder if they'll lean toward something new with 3.

Likely more of a hint that splatoon will take place in worldly locations than anything daft punk related.

I'm guessing it's to emphasize the game's "Around the World" theme, moreso than Daft Punk itself. Though it wouldn't be shocking if Splatoon 3 focused on the electronic genre in the same way 2 referenced hip-hop

Maybe a new music duo is like a tribute to Daft Punk? Each game has its own bands and at least some part of the Splatlands is "France" so......

My theory is that Splatoon 3's Callie/Marie and Pearl/Marina equivalents will be Daft Punk-inspired DJs.

This also looks like it's based on the video they made to announce their retirement, no?

Is this by the magazine (like the feature and THEY did the picture) or from Nintendo? Because if it's from the magazine then it could be the photographer or editor or whoever wanted to include it as a tribute to Daft Punk since they announced their retirement.

If it's from Nintendo then that's cool and could link to at least part of Splatoon 3 being in France (with the upsidedown Eiffel Tower) and music inspired by them or the new announcers being Daft Punk style robo squids/octs.

Sorry to rain on the parade but I'd like to remind y'all that everyone is working from home and I'd bet that this photo was just taken in someone's house while quarantined and they put their framed posted in to make the composition more interesting.

A Daft Punk inspired duo and a electronic influence on the OST sound so incredibly amazing that by that merit alone I cannot believe it

As someone already posted, there's another image that seems to be directly referencing their retirement video. And Daft Punk is a french band while Splatoon 3 seems to be set in France. It COULD be nothing, but it would be some weird coincidences. I think it's hinting that the new idol duo will be inspired by them, this kind of teasing seems like something the Splatoon team would do.

Wait, it's a photo? I thought it was a detailed drawing.

Please no. No licensed music please.

If anything, it's a hint at their inspiration for the some of the music they're planning for the game.
I mean even if they made one song before they announced retirement that'd be dope. I also don't want their actual discog in the game or no one can stream it lol.

I'm surprised Nintendo is marketing this game so far out of release. They're usual strategy for revealing a game long before release is "teaser trailer followed absolute fucking silence for months or year(s) before big blowout rereveal with release date a couple months out"
