Actually, I think it's very likely that the reason Owl had references to the vote system splatfests use, is because starting in 2022, Nintendo started using a single engine (ModuleSystem) and S3 was the first developed on it, with TOTK later too which Owl is built off of

Owl was actually OOT's remake all along and not an EPD5, but rather an EPD3 project. We will probably never know why in 2024 it had references to EPD5 or the internal vote system Splatoon uses in splatfests.
Splatoon 4 therefore doesn't have a rumored codename anymore

A new EPD5 Project Name has been found.
Spiral -> (Presumed) Splatoon 4
Owl (NEW) -> (No idea but likely Animal Crossing)
Interestingly enough, both of these use the internal "vote" system that Splatoon uses for Splatfests.
It is likely EPD5 has split or is working on both.

Spiral was Raiders as confirmed via datamines a week or so ago, which we thought at the time was meant to be S4.

As a quick reminder, this is why we had guessed both projects were related to Splatoon or built on top of the Splatoon engine. It would be interesting to see if OOT still has the references to "voting"

Internally, projects are organized by the codename of the project followed by the function/product used. Here being the vote system.
So
spiral-vote
owl-vote
