The regular content additions for the Nintendo Switch title "Splatoon 3," which were promised for two years after its release, concluded with the biggest festival ever, the "Grand Festival," in September 2024.
...But even after that, the online tournament "Splatoon 3 Anarchy Ruler Championship" is already underway, and instead of settling down, the excitement is only growing!
The entry deadline for the Anarchy Ruler Championship's Clam Blitz division is approaching on Friday, October 11, 2024, at 3:00 PM, with the qualifying event match on Saturday, October 12, 2024, from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM, so don't forget to register if you plan to participate!
In addition to the Anarchy Ruler Championship, it has been announced that special seasonal Splatfests and Big Runs will be returning, so many people probably thought the next event would be in the winter since the "Grand Festival" just ended.
But this is Splatoon! It subverts expectations!
A special Halloween-themed Splatfest, "Splatoween," has been confirmed to happen again this year! And it will have a new theme!
Who's the Anarchy Ruler!? The Online Tournament "Splatoon 3 Anarchy Ruler Championship" is Announced! Entry Begins!
A Fantasy Theme This Year! The Halloween Splatfest!
The special Halloween-themed Splatfest, "Splatoween," has been confirmed to be held from Saturday, October 26, 2024, at 9:00 AM to Monday, October 28, 2024, at 9:00 AM! It's the weekend right before Halloween.
Since it was announced that special Splatfests would be returning, you might have thought the theme would be the same as last year's "Splatoween," "Which would be the best friend? Zombie vs. Skeleton vs. Ghost"! But no! It will be held with a new theme: "What would you be in a fantasy world? Wizard vs. Knight vs. Ninja"!
While Halloween certainly has a strong horror image, a fantasy world is also a perfect fit!
You have "Wizard," a fantasy archetype; "Knight," a Western warrior; and "Ninja," a Japanese shadow hero, and all three are unique, so decide which one you'll vote for before the Sneak Peek begins!
This time, too, it seems that the town will change to a spooky atmosphere.
Just like last year, you can look forward to seeing Deep Cut and the Squid Sisters, and this year also Off the Hook in their "Splatoween"-exclusive looks, so let's wait for more news!

期間は、10月26日(土)午前9時～28日(月)午前9時の48時間だ。
あやしげな雰囲気の漂う街へ、ぜひお越しいただきたい。 pic.twitter.com/LRznFd9B9n— Splatoon（スプラトゥーン） (@SplatoonJP) October 9, 2024
Revived Gear from the Previous Game Is Being Distributed for Free!
To commemorate the "Splatoween" event, the free distribution of special gear has started!
This time, too, you can open the "Squid Research Lab Report" article titled "Exclusive Splatoween-Themed Headgear!" from the "Game News" section on your Nintendo Switch console, and by launching the game from the "Play Now" button inside the article, you can get it from the Lobby terminal. As the article title suggests, the gear this time is a revival of gear that appeared in the previous game, "Splatoon 2"!
You will receive four stylish headgear items with a horror feel: Kyonshi Hat, Li'l Devil Horns, Hockey Mask, and Anglerfish Mask!
Not only are the designs cute, but the main gear abilities are also all highly practical! The Kyonshi Hat has "Run Speed Up," the Li'l Devil Horns have "Sub Ink Saver," the Hockey Mask has "Ink Recovery Up," and the Anglerfish Mask has "Main Ink Saver."
Let's get into the Halloween spirit with the Splatfest Tee, shoes, and emotes!
