Splatoon 3 Splatfest: Team Bucket List Triumphs in Apocalypse-Themed Event

Nintendo’s vibrant multiplayer shooter, Splatoon 3, continues to make waves on Nintendo Switch with its dynamic Splatfest events.

The latest competition, held from May 18th through May 20th, 2024, delivered a dramatic, end-of-the-world theme that challenged players globally to reflect on the question: "What would you do at the world’s end?" The Splatfest, a recurring special event within Splatoon 3, once again brought together players from all regions for intense, themed matches and community polling. This month, competitors were invited to choose between three teams: Team Same Ol', Team Bucket List, and Team Save the Day.

The unique apocalypse theme marked a notable tonal shift from previous, more lighthearted contests, such as the competition featuring fluffy bunnies and chicks.

Leading up to the event, players could cast their votes in the Splatsville Square, setting the stage for a weekend of fierce, ink-splattered battles. Following a gripping weekend of turf wars, Nintendo officially confirmed that Frye’s Team Bucket List emerged victorious, amassing an impressive 415 points.

The runner-up, Team Same Ol', came close with 395 points, while Team Save the Day collected 60 points.

The close competition between the leading teams showcased the passion and engagement within the Splatoon 3 community, reinforcing the enduring popularity and strong player base of the franchise on Nintendo Switch. Event participants who took part in the Splatfest are encouraged to collect their Super Sea Snails in-game.

These coveted rewards can be used to upgrade gear and further customizations, enhancing the overall gameplay experience.

As with past events, results and statistics for this Splatfest were made universally available to players across all regions, underscoring Nintendo’s commitment to fostering a united and competitive online ecosystem. Splatoon 3, developed and published by Nintendo, has consistently introduced fresh content and engaging community events, supporting its position as a standout title in the Nintendo Switch library.

Since its release, the game has maintained an active player base bolstered by regular updates and creative events like Splatfest.

The enduring success of such events not only boosts player engagement but also demonstrates Nintendo’s expertise in sustaining long-term interest in their multiplayer offerings. For those eager to stay updated on future Splatfest events or review historical results, Nintendo maintains comprehensive archival resources on its platforms and the official Splatoon 3 website.

With another memorable Splatfest concluded, anticipation is high for the next announcement via an upcoming Nintendo Direct or the eShop newsfeed, as the world of Splatoon 3 shows no signs of slowing down.
