Splatoon 3 Announces Summer Nights 2025 Splatfest: Land vs. Sea vs. Air

Nintendo has officially announced the next major in-game event for its popular shooter, Splatoon 3.

The highly anticipated Summer Nights 2025 Splatfest will take place this July on the Nintendo Switch, offering players the chance to choose their favorite mode of travel—land, sea, or air. Splatoon 3, developed by Nintendo, continues to engage its active community with fresh content and creative competitions.

The Summer Nights 2025 Splatfest is set to begin on July 11 in some territories and July 12 in others, running throughout the weekend.

The event invites players to pledge their allegiance to one of three travel methods and compete in Turf War battles, a signature mode for the franchise.

Results of the Splatfest will be announced shortly after the competition concludes. This event follows the success of April's Splatoon 3 Spring Fest 2025 Splatfest, where players rallied around new themes and community challenges.

Splatfests have long been a staple of the Splatoon series, regularly encouraging player participation and friendly rivalry.

The introduction of a three-way battle—pitting land, sea, and air against each other—promises another lively contest for fans. In a recent statement, a representative at Nintendo summarized the event's spirit by emphasizing player choice, noting that the Splatfest format provides a fun and engaging platform for the community to express preferences while showcasing their skills.

With each Splatfest, Splatoon 3 continues to uphold its reputation for dynamic gameplay and vibrant competition. Splatoon 3 remains exclusively available on the Nintendo Switch and has benefited from ongoing updates since its release.

Most recently, a free Switch 2 update for Splatoon 3 was made available, further enhancing gameplay for fans of the colorful shooter.

The title has consistently performed well on the eShop and during frequent Nintendo Direct presentations, reflecting its strong presence within Nintendo's first-party lineup. Splatfest events like the upcoming Summer Nights 2025 are designed to keep the Splatoon 3 community thriving with new experiences and strategic play.

As July approaches, fans around the world are preparing to ink their way to victory, whether they favor traveling by land, sea, or air.
