Splatoon 3 launches a themed Splatfest starting today, July 10, at 5pm PT (8pm ET), running through July 12. The event ties into the release of the Splatoon Raiders spin-off, arriving on Switch 2 on July 23, as announced by Nintendo.
The Splatfest asks players to pick between three tank styles available in Splatoon Raiders: Speed, Power, and Tactics. Each choice aligns the player with a Deep Cut member: Shiver leads the Speed team, Frye heads Power, and Big Man commands Tactics. In the spin-off, these styles directly influence gameplay approach and available gadgets during treasure hunts and battles against Salmonids.
Nintendo shared official artwork showing Deep Cut members in their Splatoon Raiders outfits across social media as part of the event promotion.
