The Grand Festival, the biggest Splatfest* for him, is just around the corner, starting on the 13thth September at 2:00 CEST and ends on the 16th September at 01:59 CEST – with 72 hours of festivities and music. To select the teams, players will vote on the question “What is most important to you: past, present or future?”.
The performance of all three groups from the series Splatoon, Deep Cut, Squid Sisters and Off the Hook is also expected. During the first part of Splatfest, three groups will alternate between three stages. And in the second part, together they will perform a special performance of their latest single “Three Wishes”. During both parts, players can press the directional buttons to express themselves whenever they want with exclusive emotes.
During this Splatfest, 4-on-2-on-2 Tricolor battles are available right from the start. For the first 48 hours, every previous Tricolor Battle stage will be in rotation, including Scorch Gorge, which was previously exclusive to the Legend of Zelda-themed Splatfest. The last 24 hours will feature the exclusive Tricolor Battle Grand Splatlands Bowl stage. If you manage to catch an Ultra Signal there, your team’s fans will arrive to cheer you on.
Ahead of the Big Festival, Grizzco needs new recruits for the next Big Run event as the Salmonids invade the Grand Splatlands Bowl on the 7th.th until 9th September. To encourage everyone to protect the venue, fish scale rewards will be awarded to everyone if players can collect a golem 700,000,000 Golden Eggs worldwide during the event.
To get a souvenir from the Grand Festival, everyone who has a rank of “Ruler” or higher at Splatfest can take a picture with any of the three groups on the Giant Clam stage. In addition to the Deep Cut pose for players who have obtained the title “Ruler”, players who own the Splatoon 3 Expansion Pass and that title can also obtain the Squid Sisters and Off the Hook poses. A brand new pose will be unlocked for players who reach the title above “Ruler”. Additionally, the staff scaffolding in front of the Giant Clam stage is rumored to be a convenient vantage point for photos.
Additionally, two new sets of amiibo figures were released today, one featuring the Squid Sisters and one featuring Off the Hook as they appear in Splatoon 3’s story mode and paid DLC, Side Order. They also come with their own special equipment as well as the ability to take photos with them when scanning amiibo.
The colorful action shooter Splatoon 3 was launched almost two years ago, on the 9thth September 2022 With recurring Splatfest events featuring 4-on-2-on-2 tricolor battles, players can draw, swim and splash their way to the top in online and offline 4-on-4 Turf War battles in the sun – scorched Splatlands, fend off swarms of salmoids and waves of dangerous bosses in the four-player co-op Salmon Run mode, and uncover the mysteries of Alterna in the offline single-player campaign.
