Splatoon 3's Spooky Splatfest Returns: Details and Schedule

The highly anticipated Splatoween event in Splatoon 3 is set to immerse players in a spooky atmosphere from October 25th to October 26th, with exact timings varying by region. Nintendo has confirmed that this year's Splatfest will revisit the engaging theme of determining "Which would be the best friend?", inviting players to choose their allegiance among Team Zombie, Team Skeleton, or Team Ghost. Preparations for this spectral showdown will begin roughly a week beforehand, as the voting booths are expected to open in Splatsville Square, allowing players to cast their votes and declare their team preference. For those in North America, the event kicks off at 7 PM PDT on Friday, October 25th, while European players can expect it to start at 3 AM BST. Asia and Oceania regions will see the event commence at 11 AM JST. This particular thematic matchup is a rerun from the 2023 Splatfest, where Team Ghost previously claimed victory, adding an element of anticipation as players ponder if history will repeat itself or if a new champion will emerge from the depths of the spooky celebration.

This recurring event not only injects seasonal fun into the game but also provides a dynamic way for the player community to engage and express their preferences, fostering friendly competition and continued enthusiasm for Splatoon 3's evolving world.
