Nintendo has revealed the topic and three contestants for the next Splatoon 3 Splatfest, which will begin on April 19. The upcoming Splatoon 3 Splatfest event will feature a spring theme, and all players who participate will receive an enticing reward once the competitive event ends.
Three teams compete for points in Splatoon 3 Splatfests, with each team representing a member of the idol group Deep Cut (Shiver, Frye, and Big Man). Splatfests are held almost every month, attracting hundreds of thousands of active Splatoon 3 players in the community. The previous Splatfest saw players compete on behalf of one of three instruments this past March, with Team Keyboard beating Team Drums and Team Guitar by a wide margin. Players who lost in the March 2024 Splatfest have a chance at redemption in the upcoming Spring Fest.
Splatoon 3 Releases Update 7.1.0
Nintendo releases Update 7.1.0 for Splatoon 3, which makes changes to Splatfest and Salmon Run, while also fixing numerous bugs.
According to Nintendo's official Splatoon Twitter account, the next Splatoon 3 Splatfest (Spring Fest) asks players "Which fuzzy fluffiness do you like most?" With the options being "Baby Chicks," "Li'l Bunnies," and "Bear Cubs." From April 19 at 5 PM to April 21 at 5 PM PST, Splatoon 3 players will represent one of the three options in the seasonal Splatfest and compete in online matches to determine which one will win. This time, the Splatfest theme will be the same for all regions, including Japan. In addition, Nintendo reminds fans that spring-themed gear and a new seasonal banner can be claimed by visiting the Splatoon 3 channel on Nintendo Switch.

During the Spring Fest, the Squid Sisters, Off the Hook, and Deep Cut will also perform songs in spring-themed outfits at Inkopolis Plaza, Inkopolis Square, and Splatsville respectively. Players can gain access to Inkopolis Plaza and Inkopolis Square by owning the Expansion Pass and starting the Splatoon 3 Side Order DLC.

Team "Li'l Bunnies" appears to be the most popular choice so far on Twitter, but past Splatfests have shown that the lead can change at any moment. Like previous Splatoon 3 Splatfests, fans can expect the full results to be posted on Nintendo's official social media channels after the event ends. Super Sea Snails will be distributed shortly after the results are announced in the game and on social media as well.

WHERE TO PLAY
Enter 4-on-4* ink-slinging battles in this colorful action shooter packed with style and attitude. As a squid-like Inkling, quickly cover your surroundings (and opponents) in ink with wild weaponry and swim through your own color to sneak and splat. Dive into the fresh fun with family and friends and make waves as a team. Get splatted by an opponent? No sweat! The goal in Turf War is to cover the most ground, so respawn and jump back into the inky action.
Keep it current with rotating items, seasonal catalogs, and special events: Variety is the spice of an Inkling’s life, so check out shops daily for a changing array of gear that is as fashionable as it is functional. Timed events like Splatfests bring different types of chaotic competition and content updates add even more weapons and stages. Earn points to get in-game items from season-specific catalogs to dress up your own personal locker and show your style.
Use inky new abilities and weapons to compete, cooperate, or clear up the mystery of the Fuzzy Ooze: Dynamic new moves like the Squid Surge and Squid Roll will help you and your fellow Inklings cover more ground and avoid enemy ink. Take aim with the bow-like Stringer and get slash happy with sword-like Splatanas—these new weapon types join an arsenal of fresh special weapons and sub weapons, too. Work together to collect Golden Eggs and fend off brand-new swarms of invading Salmonids in the co-op Salmon Run mode. Tackle a solo adventure alongside a Smallfry companion to solve the mystery of the Fuzzy Ooze in the offline story mode.
