Nintendo Announces Splatoon 3 Summer Nights Splatfest for August 2026

Nintendo confirmed that the annual Splatoon 3 “Summer Nights” Splatfest will run from August 21‑23, 2026. The event asks players to choose which location they would rent for a day – a palace, a theme park, or a beach – and to battle for their chosen side.

Players can join the limited‑time festival by logging into Splatoon 3 during the weekend, selecting a team, and playing online matches to earn points. The team with the most points will be announced on the Monday following the event, and participants receive in‑game rewards based on the outcome.
