Has Raiders Left You Craving A Splatfest? Splatoon 3’s Got You Covered Next Month
Nintendo has announced that Splatoon 3’s Summer Nights Splatfest will return from 22 to 24 August, giving players another limited-time competitive event. The announcement matters because it confirms continued seasonal support for the game despite attention shifting towards Splatoon Raiders.
Players will choose between Palace, Theme Park and Beach in response to the question, “Which would you reserve for a day?”. The event begins at 1am BST in the UK and Ireland on 22 August, with voting expected to open around a week beforehand; it repeats a previous Splatfest theme.
In short
- Splatoon 3’s Summer Nights Splatfest returns on 22 August.
- Players will choose Palace, Theme Park or Beach.
- UK start time is 1am BST.
Explained simply
Splatoon 3 is an online team-based game for Nintendo Switch, where players use ink to compete in short matches. Its Splatfests are special events in which players pick a side based on a themed question, then compete for their chosen team.
Splatoon Raiders is a separate game in the same series, and its announcement has drawn attention to what may come next for the franchise. Splatfests give Splatoon 3 players a reason to return for limited-time matches, while the event themes and team results are part of the game’s ongoing community activity.
