How to play the spring Splatfest

Splatfest have been a thing in the Splatoon games for ages now, but the game is also continuing to draw in new players! If you’re one of the lucky newcomers and this will be your first Splatfest, here’s how it all works.

When you first load into Splatoon 3, head to the town square and find the television screen. Here you can pick which team you want to represent for the current Splatfest: Baby Chicks, Li’l Bunnies, or Bear Cubs.

Once you make your selection, you’ll receive a t-shirt for your team. This shirt will earn skills and is super cheap to reset, so it’s a great way to farm chunks for your abilities. You don’t get to keep the shirt forever, it’ll be removed once the Splatfest event ends.

As a multiplayer event, Splatfest is quite similar to the normal arena mode. You’ll head in and fight with your fellow teammates against one of the other teams. Sometimes there will be a three-way fight where all the teams battle it out to see who is the best.

The more you play, the more your Catalog will level up, which is one of the categories that is taken into consideration when calculating the winner.

Splatfest rewards

All Splatfest will feature the same rewards: Super Sea Snails. The more you play, the more you will earn, and you’ll get even more if your team wins!

The spring Splatfest for 2024 is sure to be a popular one. Make sure you jump in and vote for you who want to represent: Baby Chicks, Li’l Bunnies, or Bear Cubs. Remember that the event starts on April 19, 2024, so get in over the weekend and fight for victory. Swing by our Splatoon 3 page on Sunday evening for the results!
