The next Splatfest: Thursday / Friday / Saturday / Sunday

It’s almost time to celebrate the Splatoon 3 game’s second anniversary! An epic, in-game Splatfest called Grand Festival is coming to the game in September.

For the first time in a Splatoon series game, you’ll be able to watch a trio of showstopping groups perform together: the Squid Sisters, Off the Hook, and Deep Cut! A Splatfest so grand will have an equally grand question: Which is most important to you? The past, present, or future?

An internet connection and any Nintendo Switch Online membership are required to participate in Splatfest Battles in the Splatoon 3 game.

What is a Splatfest?

A Splatfest is a big deal for Inklings and Octolings around the world. Players join one of three causes and try to win in-game battles to champion their thoughts on the questions posed. After choosing their destiny, participants take it to Splatfest Battles. The goal of a match is to ink as much of the stage as you can. The more matches your side wins, the closer you’ll be to a resounding victory!
