Splatoon 3 Splatoween 2025: Team Zombie Wins Annual Halloween Splatfest on Nintendo Switch

Nintendo fans once again rallied together for the highly anticipated Splatoween Splatfest in Splatoon 3, the vibrant multiplayer shooter that continues to dominate the Nintendo Switch platform.

Hosted annually, this special Halloween-themed event invites players to pick a team and battle it out for bragging rights and festive rewards.

In 2025, players faced the game’s signature question: which would make the best friend—a Zombie, a Skeleton, or a Ghost? The results, officially announced by the Japanese Splatoon Twitter account on October 27, 2025, saw Team Zombie dominating the competition with a commanding 455 points.

Team Ghost earned a respectable second place with 295 points, while Team Skeleton rounded out the lineup with 120 points.

The announcement congratulated Team Zombie members for their win and reminded all participants to claim their Super Sea Snails, a valuable in-game reward.

The campaign brought the community together for another memorable Splatfest event and demonstrated the ongoing popularity of Splatoon 3 on Nintendo Switch. This marks the second consecutive year for the "Splatoween" event, building on Splatoon 3’s tradition of engaging, themed Splatfests that keep its global player base invested throughout the year.

Nintendo’s dedication to rotating event content has contributed to Splatoon 3’s strong sales since its worldwide launch on September 9, 2022.

The title quickly became one of the fastest-selling Nintendo Switch games in Japan, achieving over 7 million units sold in its first six months.

Ongoing updates, events, and robust multiplayer support continue to solidify its position as a pillar of the Switch lineup. Reflecting on the victory, official statements highlighted the enthusiasm of Team Zombie’s supporters, while also recognizing the passionate player communities behind Ghost and Skeleton.

As a reminder, all Splatfest participants are encouraged to check the in-game lobby to claim their exclusive rewards. Fans can look forward to at least one more major Splatfest in Splatoon 3 before the end of 2025, maintaining the game’s tradition of delivering fresh, community-driven content.

The recent release of the Nintendo Switch 2 has also enhanced the visual experience for players, with many noting Splatoon 3’s updated 4K display support as a significant upgrade for the franchise. As Splatoon 3 continues to thrive on Nintendo Switch and the emerging Switch 2 hardware, the annual Splatoween Splatfest stands as a testament to the game’s enduring appeal and the ongoing creativity of Nintendo’s development teams.
