Reminder: Splatoon 3’s first Splatfest starts today

The world premiere of Splatoon 3 is home to Splatoon 3The first Splatfest, the event kicks off today in all regions! You’ll get to experience the festival of new Splatfests, including the all-new Tri-Color Turf War, in online matches throughout the day, which are well-deservedly held on World Paper Scissors Day.

Splatfest is divided into two halves – the first six hours will be devoted to Splatfest battles, where 1-v-1 paint-spray battles are all along the way. Then, in the second six hours, you’ll get into 4v2v2 battles in a chaotic three-team battle. To join Splatfest, you’ll need to download the Splatfest World Premiere demo and swear allegiance to one of the three teams (tell us what you’ll do). our poll!).

Once you run the demo, you may notice that you were given a code on the screen (or one was emailed). This code gives you a free seven-day Nintendo Switch Online trial (if you haven’t already signed up for the service), so be sure to redeem it so you can get into this mess!
