Mark your calendars. Nintendo has announced that Splatoon 3ās Grand Festival will hit on September 13th. It promises to be the biggest Splatfest in the seriesā history. The debate will be fought over Past, Present, and Future.
What makes this the biggest Splatfest? Iām not entirely clear on that, but the band line-up looks to be the central focus. Not only will it include Splatoon 3ās local band, whose name I canāt remember right now, it will also bring back the Squid Sisters and Off the Hook. Or, I guess just Off the Hook, since you can see the Squid Sisters perform during Splatfest if you have the expansion.
It also seems to involve a new venue out in the desert, which seems like a really bad place to gather a bunch of squids and octopi.
The outfits the bands are wearing are evocative of the bleached look in Splatoon 3ās expansion, Side Order. Iām not sure if that ties in.
Iām not really sure of anything, especially not if thereās going to be anything functionally different. It should be cool, though. Itās the second anniversary of Splatoon 3, which really snuck up on me. As much as I love Splatoon, I havenāt been able to dedicate much time to this one, and itās not for lack of wanting. I just seem to get distracted every time I try to devote any consistent playtime to it. Being an adult sucks.
Speaking of which, Iāll probably be voting Present in this debate. My therapist says I should be more focused that.
Splatoon 3ās Grand Festival runs from September 13 (5pm PT) to September 15 (5pm PT).
