Splatoon 3 Announces Upgraded Classic Splatfest

The Splatfest schedule for Splatoon 3 has been a bit unique compared to past titles in the franchise. The past two games have had a steady schedule of one Splatfest per month, and fans counted on that. But for the newest game, Nintendo has been a bit more inconsistent with things. There have been “breaks” in the schedule that have been hard to predict, and when those breaks happened, other “events” in the game’s world often took place. We bring this up because many thought a new Splatfest wouldn’t happen until September, and yet, we’re getting one in a few weeks.

But not only is that release date a bit shocking, the topic of the event is making many fans’ jaws drop. Why is that? Nintendo is bringing back one of the classic Splatfests of the past and giving it both a redo and an upgrade. We’ll explain.

They had never done that before, and hadn’t made an adjustment like that sense.

Now, love vs. money is back, but with the twist that “fame” is now added to the mix to keep it in line with the triple threat rules of Splatoon 3.

So this could once again be one of the closest Splatfests in history. Or, thanks to the updated options, it could be a blowout as one side chooses something over what they picked last time.

Jokes about the Splatfest aside, the topic is one of great meaning that many people
