Update []:
How do you do, fellow squid kids? This is your friendly reminder that Splatoon 3’s latest Splatfest is getting underway this weekend, so make sure to cast your vote if you want to get involved.
Nintendo may have wrapped up the monthly Splatfest formula last year, but the event-specific battles are still alive and kicking. Frosty Fest has arrived in the Splatlands once again, and the seasonal vote this time asks ‘What would make you happiest?‘, with Team Money, Experiences and Presents all up for grabs.
The event kicks off tomorrow (11th January) in most regions, though those in North America will be able to take part later on today — ah, the magic of timezones. You can find the precise time that the event gets underway wherever you are below:
- North America: 4pm (Fri) PST / 5pm (Fri) MST / 6pm (Fri) CST / 7pm (Fri) EST
- UK/Ire: 12am GMT
- Europe: 1am CET / 2am EET
- Asia/Oceania: 9am JST / 8am AWST / 11am AEDT
Happy splatting, everyone!
Original Story: Monthly Splatfests are a thing of the past for Splatoon 3 these days, but Nintendo is still keeping the seasonal events coming. With Splatoween out the way, the next one to roll around is Frosty Fest, a festive celebration which will be heading to the Splatlands next month.
As revealed in a tweet by @NintendoUK, the Frosty Fest Splatfest will get underway from 11th-12th January 2025 (depending on your region), with the theme this time asking ‘What would make you happiest?‘ There are three gift-based teams to choose between, with Team Money, Experiences and Presents all vying for your support.
But that’s not all! Just as was the case last year, the upcoming festival also brings in a batch of free gear — this time consisting of returning items from Splatoon 2, but who cares? They’re free! To redeem your free in-game gear, just select the relevant story on the Switch News channel.
It looks like voting for this one will be underway very soon, but in the meantime, why not let us know which team you’ll be battling for in the following poll?
