Splatoon 3 developer Nintendo EPD is bringing back its Halloween-themed Splatfest — Splatoween — to Nintendo Switch, with the event scheduled for the weekend of October 31.
Splatoon 3 originally launched for Nintendo Switch on September 9, 2022, and Splatfests have become a recurring seasonal feature in the series, giving players timed opportunities to choose sides and compete across the in-game hub of Splatsville.
Themed around classic fantasy archetypes, this year's Splatoween will let players select between Team Wizard, Team Knight and Team Ninja.
A playful seasonal greeting sets the tone for the event: "Trick or treat, Squidlings?" Players who participate will be able to join a team and earn event-specific rewards during the Splatfest window.
According to the report, the Splatfest itself runs the weekend of October 31.
Players should check the Splatfest stand in Splatsville for full event details and to claim their team T-shirt when it becomes available in mid-October.
The in-game Splatfest stand has been the central hub for voting and team selection in prior Splatoon 3 events, and players can access Splatoon 3 through the Nintendo Switch library and via the Nintendo eShop where digital copies and updates are distributed.
Revisiting the last time this fantasy-themed Splatfest ran, Team Ninja secured the victory.
That prior result establishes Team Ninja as the most recent winners of this particular theme, setting up a repeat competitive storyline for returning players.
Splatoon 3 continues to be supported with seasonal events and updates on Nintendo Switch, and Splatfests remain a staple of the franchise’s community-driven competitive calendar.
For players planning to take part, ensure your Nintendo Switch system is updated and watch official Nintendo channels or the in-game notices in Splatsville for precise voting windows, matchmaking details and any leaderboard or reward changes announced ahead of Splatoween.
