Splatfests are still all the rage for the inklings and octolings hanging out looking to have a little fun, but this time around there’s some brand new theming to amp up the excitement for the latest and greatest they have to offer! All the squid and octo kids are going to celebrate in style this Splatoween and enjoy not only a fully decked out town, but a fun new Splatfest to fight and prove just who is going to take top billing this time around. The brand new theme is around familiar spooky faces one might see around Halloween, but instead of seeing them as scary foes to attack the question asked is which of the three would be the best friend! The three available choices include zombies who are well known for being a little bit bitey at times, skeletons that rattle their bones while loving to jump around and finally ghosts who might not always seem like they’re there but are always glad to catch you by surprise. For those who enjoy voting based on character the choices belong to Shiver, Frye and Big Man respectively. The best part of all is the team has absolutely gone all out to make this a fully decorated experience no matter what team you’re on!
Those who want to dress the part should be sure to keep an eye on the Splatoon 3 news channel on Nintendo Switch as players will be able to claim some wonderfully themed gear including the undead head looking like a mummy, swim reaper for tentacle creatures, the plankton walker for pirate lovers and the bleak beak for plague doctors. Deep Cut definitively isn’t missing out on activities either as all three will be decked out for Splatoween, although it seems Big Man is the only one that got the memo to dress like your choice for the Splatfest and rocks some spooky ghost garb. Those with access to the Splatoon 3 Expansion Pass who like to chill in Inkopolis Plaza won’t be missing out either as the Squid Sisters are also dressing up for the occasion and bringing the heat to prove they’re still the most popular idols around! As a final update to the more fun events it seems that the Mahi-Mahi Resort stage will be temporarily down next week for maintenance. Fortunately it will only be unavailable between October 15 to October 17, so we’ll see what they have in store and whether or not this is for a fix or perhaps they’re cooking up some extra theming for this stage.
Voting will begin on October 20 with the Splatoween event officially starting on October 27 and running until October 29. Check out the amazing thread of images from Nintendo below:
