Jul 21, 2024 11:05 AM

Splatoon 3 is gearing up for its "Grand Festival," which will likely mark the end of its infamous Splatfests. To celebrate its second anniversary, Nintendo is hosting this massive event from September 13 to 16, 2024. The festival’s theme encompasses the Past, Present, and Future, featuring beloved characters like Callie and Marie, Pearl and Marina, and Deep Cut's Frye, Shiver, and Big Man. Alongside the festival, new amiibo sets are being released on September 5 to commemorate the event. These include the Alterna Set (Callie and Marie) and the Side Order Set (Pearl and Marina). Fans should act quickly to pre-order these amiibo, as they tend to sell out fast.

What is the theme of Splatoon 3's Grand Festival?

The theme of Splatoon 3's Grand Festival is "Past, Present, and Future," representing the different characters from the series: Callie and Marie for the Past, Pearl and Marina for the Present, and Frye, Shiver, and Big Man for the Future.

Splatoon 3, released in 2022 for the Nintendo Switch, has been a critical and commercial success, praised for improving its gameplay and maintaining the series' beloved features. Players have enjoyed various Splatfest events, and although the "Grand Festival" may signify the end of these timed events, the game’s strong fanbase ensures it remains a key title on the platform.
