Splatoon 3 Spring Fest Splatfest Announced: Morning, Noon, or Night Debate Arrives April 11

Nintendo has officially announced the next Splatfest for Splatoon 3, dubbed the Spring Fest, now set to unfold from Friday, April 11 at 6:00 p.m.

PT through Sunday, April 13 at 6:00 p.m.

PT.

This celebration presents a light-hearted, timely debate to the vibrant Splatoon 3 community: When do you get the most done—morning, noon, or night? Players can select their preferred time of productivity, join a team, and splash it out in fierce multiplayer battles to determine which period prevails. Splatoon 3, developed and published by Nintendo, continues the globetrotting Turf War tradition for Inklings and Octolings on the Nintendo Switch.

Regular Splatfest events have been a cornerstone for fostering community engagement and friendly rivalry, and the upcoming Spring Fest maintains this exciting tradition.

In Splatoon 3 Splatfests, players unite under one of three answers to a pivotal question, staking their claim on ink-soaked battlefields to champion their side. In a recent official statement, Nintendo emphasized the spirit of competition at the heart of these events.

Players are encouraged to join their chosen team, compete in Splatfest Battles, and cover as much ground in ink as possible alongside their allies.

Each match contributes to the collective success of a team, and victory solidifies their answer to the question as the community favorite. Spring Fest will also feature the high-octane Tricolor Turf War battles, where a large squad must defend the center of the map against two opposing smaller squads, each vying for territorial control.

This three-sided format adds an extra layer of strategy and challenge to the event’s festivities. Nintendo Switch Online members get additional incentives for participating during the event window.

By simply playing Splatoon 3 during Spring Fest—from joining the Splatfest action or participating in online matches—players will earn 100 Platinum Points and special themed icon elements.

These icon elements allow users to customize their Nintendo Switch profile with fresh, exclusive designs.

All rewards can be redeemed by visiting Nintendo Switch Online via the HOME Menu after completing the mission.

Nintendo has confirmed that these unique icon elements will be delivered to eligible paid members by early May 2025. It’s important to note that an active Nintendo Switch Online membership and a Nintendo Account are required to access online features and receive Splatfest rewards.

Internet connectivity and a compatible smart device are also necessary for some app features. Since its release, Splatoon 3 has built on the legacy of its predecessors with expanded multiplayer features, fresh content, and innovative game modes.

Splatfests—like the upcoming Spring Fest—remain one of the series’ most beloved recurring events, driving engagement among Nintendo Switch owners worldwide.

For those eager to dive in, details and terms can be found via Nintendo’s official website. As the Spring Fest Splatfest approaches, Splatoon 3 fans are preparing to prove whether mornings, noons, or nights are the most productive hours—on and off the virtual battlefield.
