The latest European Splatfest in Splatoon 2 has come to an end. We now have a winner for the topic involving gherkins. Players were asked if they like having the food on their burgers, or prefer having it off.

Last week, Japanese magazine Famitsu published a fairly lengthy Project Octopath Traveler interview. Producer Masashi Takahashi from Square Enix and director Keisuke Miyauchi from Acquire were brought in to discuss the Switch exclusive.

The primary concept is “going on a journey.” The player would choose one of the eight protagonists, role-plays as them, and freely has a journey with the world.
