A 72-hour Splatfest filled with musical performances, Tricolor Battles, and more!
Nintendo fans, rejoice! The biggest Splatfest event ever is set to take over the gaming world with the Splatoon 3: Grand Festival for Splatoon 3. Starting September 12 at 5 p.m. PT and running through September 15 at 5 p.m. PT, players will be treated to a spectacular 72 hours of electrifying musical performances and thrilling gameplay centered around the question, “Which is the most important to you: Past, Present, or Future?”
What to Expect at the Splatoon 3: Grand Festival
The Grand Festival promises to be an unforgettable celebration with performances from beloved groups in the Splatoon series: the Squid Sisters, Off the Hook, and Deep Cut.
Each group will rotate between three unique stages, with the highly anticipated collaboration performance of the Now or Never Seven, featuring their newest hit single, “Three Wishes,” during the final 24 hours of the event. Fans will want to stake out a prime spot at the Giant Clam stage, rumored to offer the perfect photo opportunity.
To add to the excitement, exclusive emotes will be available throughout the festival, allowing players to showcase their unique dance moves and celebrate their participation in this epic event. The vibrant atmosphere is sure to engage both newcomers and seasoned players alike.
Dive into the Action with Tricolor Battles
For those seeking a challenge, the Splatoon 3: Grand Festival will also introduce thrilling three-team Tricolor Battles right from the start. Players can expect a chaotic blend of strategy and skill as they compete on various stages, including fan-favorites from past Splatfests.
Notably, Scorch Gorge will make its return, alongside an exclusive new stage – the Grand Splatlands Bowl – during the last 24 hours. Players who obtain the Ultra Signal will be rewarded with cheers from their team’s corresponding musical group.
Achieving Greatness: Ruler Rank and New Poses
Competing in the festival can be fruitful for those aiming to capture their moment of glory. Players who reach the coveted “Ruler” rank will have the unique opportunity to take a selfie with any of the three musical groups at the Giant Clam stage.
Not only will they receive a special Deep Cut pose, but players who own the paid Splatoon 3 Expansion Pass will unlock additional poses with the Squid Sisters and Off the Hook. Achieving ranks beyond Ruler will even grant access to a brand-new pose!
