Splatoon 3 announces 2023 Splatoween event, new Splatfest
Original (10/13): Nintendo has announced that Splatoon 3 will be hosting a new 2023 Splatoween event, and it’ll be accompanied by a Splatfest.
It goes without saying, but the event comes in celebration of Halloween. Splatoween will be held between October 27 at 5 PM PT / 8 PM ET and October 29 at 5 PM PT / 8 PM ET. Splatsville will be decorated for the occasion and there’ll be special costumes for Deep Cut. Plus, if you have the game’s Expansion Pass, the same will also go for Inkopolis Plaza and the Squid Sisters.
Expect some new gear as well. Nintendo hasn’t shared official names, but they’ll be appropriately Halloween-themed.
A new Splatfest is coming as well. This time around, the theme is “Which would be the best friend?” Players can choose between a zombie, skeleton, or ghost. Voting begins on October 20 at 1 AM PT / 4 AM ET.
Here’s a closer look at the upcoming event:
