Splatoon 3’s latest Splatfest — a Raiders-themed event tied to the game’s in-game Raiders content — concluded with Team Power taking top honors, according to official community reports.
Splatoon 3, developed by Nintendo EPD and released for Nintendo Switch on September 9, 2022, continues to support seasonal Splatfests and in-game collaborations announced during Nintendo Direct presentations.
Event overview and timeline
The Splatfest was confirmed live on July 12, 2026, and final results were posted on July 13, 2026.
Nintendo had first signaled the event during the June Nintendo Direct, positioning the weekend competition around the Raiders theme and asking players to choose their preferred fighting style: Speed, Power or Tactics.
Ahead of the event, players could cast votes at the Splatsville kiosk to claim a Splatfest tee and begin earning Conch Shells.
Final results and community reaction
In the weekend competition, Team Power emerged as the winner with 365p.
Team Speed finished second with 285p, and Team Tactics placed third with 220p.
In journalistic terms: after a closely contested weekend of matches, Team Power accumulated the highest score and secured the Splatfest victory, while Speed and Tactics trailed with 285 and 220 points respectively.
Nintendo Life’s pre-event poll had indicated that Team Power was the least popular pick among its voters, a contrast to the final outcome.
Prizes and next steps for players
Organizers reminded participants to claim any earned Splatfest rewards.
Players who took part during the event window should log into Splatoon 3 on Nintendo Switch to retrieve prizes awarded for participation and performance.
What this means for Splatoon 3 and the community
New Splatfest themes have been relatively rare since the Grand Festival, making this Raiders tie-in notable for returning players.
While the competitive weekend has wrapped, Raiders-related content remains available in Splatoon 3, and the community will look ahead to future seasonal events announced via Nintendo Direct and official channels.
For Nintendo Switch owners and Splatoon 3 players, the Splatfest provided another engaged weekend of turf war competition, community debate, and in-game rewards tied to Nintendo’s ongoing event calendar.
