Grand Festival begins September 12th!

Splatfests in the Splatoon™ 3 game for the Nintendo Switch™ system reach a “grand” finale in the music-filled Grand Festival in-game event* ! From the minute your Inkling or Octoling arrives at the train station and walks through the ink shower unscathed, you’ll see why this is a Splatfest like no other.

This Splatfest for the Splatoon 3 game runs Sept. 12-15 with a four-day festival of music, ink-stained competition, and community fun. There are surprises lurking everywhere, from the field of competition to the rafters high above the main concert stages—where, this time, it’s not just the Anarchy Splatcast hosts Deep Cut who are getting in on the act! Players will choose between three different musical acts from all three Splatoon games as they try to answer the impossible question: “Which is the most important to you: Past, Present or Future?” To participate, you'll need the Splatoon 3 game and a Nintendo Switch Online membership*. Color us excited!

Enter the Splatlands, a sun-scorched desert inhabited by battle-hardened Inklings and Octolings. Splatsville, the city of chaos, is the adrenaline-fueled heart of this dusty wasteland. Even in this desolate environment, Turf War* reigns supreme and battles rage in stages located in the surrounding wilds. Dynamic moves help these fighters dodge attacks and cover more ground, along with a bow-shaped weapon to sling ink.
