Splatoon 3, Nintendo’s popular team-based shooter for the Nintendo Switch, continues to captivate its devoted player base with dynamic, community-driven events.
The latest Splatfest, dubbed 'Frosty Fest,' brought players back to the vibrant Splatlands, culminating in a thrilling weekend showdown that highlights the game’s enduring appeal. Launched in 2022 and developed by Nintendo’s internal teams, Splatoon 3 has built on the franchise’s reputation for fast-paced, ink-splattering action.
Splatfests—limited-time competitions where players align with themed teams—have become signature elements of Splatoon’s online experience, drawing millions to the eShop for these fiercely contested events.
Despite a slight decrease in frequency, each new Splatfest maintains the series’ cherished tradition of spirited competition and community engagement. The most recent Frosty Fest event centered on the question: “Who do you spend the holidays with?” After a fiercely fought weekend, Team Solo emerged as the clear victor, accumulating 460 points.
Team Friends was close behind with a commendable 410 points, while Team Family struggled to find their footing and ultimately finished without any points.
As another Frosty Fest wraps up, participants are reminded to visit the in-game plaza to collect their well-earned Super Sea Snails, special rewards incentivizing continued play and customization. According to Nintendo, these beloved seasonal Splatfests are expected to continue throughout 2026, offering fans a calendar packed with opportunities to join in on special events.
Looking ahead, the community eagerly anticipates the next festival, potentially titled 'Spring Fest,' set to arrive in the coming months. Interest in Splatoon 3 was renewed earlier this year when a listing for the game appeared on the European age-rating platform PEGI, referencing Nintendo’s widely speculated next-generation platform, colloquially known as Switch 2.
While Nintendo has not made any official announcements regarding a new release or enhanced version for the Switch 2, this development has sparked curiosity among industry followers and franchise devotees alike. As the Splatoon franchise marches forward, supported by Nintendo’s hallmark blend of innovation and community spirit, players remain enthusiastic about what lies ahead.
From reliable online content such as Splatfests, to the promise of new hardware integration, Splatoon 3’s ongoing updates ensure that the series stays at the forefront of the Nintendo Switch’s library and the broader gaming landscape.
