Splatfest's most recent champion has been declared!
In the vibrant underwater world of Splatoon 3, the latest Splatfest event has come to a close, with the Bear Cubs emerging victorious. This special in-game event, which took place over the weekend, pitted players against one another in themed battles, with the teams competing being Baby Chicks, Li'l Bunnies, and Bear Cubs.
For those unfamiliar, a Splatfest is a limited-time event where players pick a side based on various themes or concepts, such as favourite foods or activities. These events encourage community engagement and friendly competition, with several changes occurring in the game during the Splatfest.
During these events, matchmaking is limited to players participating in the Splatfest, creating a unique competitive environment just for the event. Players earn points and ranks based on their battle performance, which affect their standing in the event's global or regional leaderboard. Exclusive rewards, such as special gear, emotes, or cosmetic items, may be given out based on participation or performance.
The event often features a distinct theme reflected in the game's visuals, music, and community promotions. This Splatfest, themed around "Which fuzzy fluffiness do you like most?", saw the game's hub world, Splatsville, undergo changes in appearance and sound to match the festive atmosphere.
Participants in the Splatfest received Super Sea Snails upon its conclusion, a valuable in-game currency that can be used to upgrade gear and get abilities that match a player's needs. The winning side of the Splatfest received more Super Sea Snails as a reward for their victory.
To participate in Splatfests, players must purchase the Splatoon 3 game from Nintendo.com or the Nintendo eShop on their device. A Nintendo Switch Online membership and a Nintendo Account are also required for online features in Splatoon 3.
