Nintendo announced that people will be able to celebrate Halloween in Splatoon 3 ahead of the holiday with a Splatoween Splatfest again. The event will go live in the game on October 25, 2024, and it will end on October 27, 2024.
While this is a rerun of the event from October 2023, the three sides are different. The 2023 version asked people to choose if they would consider a zombie, skeleton, or ghost to make the “best” friend. The 2024 edition involves picking the class you’d be if you were in a fantasy world. The options are wizard, knight, and ninja. Shiver is tied to “Wizard,” Frye is on the “Knight” side, and Big Man is the “Ninja” spokesperson.
You can already claim the Splatoon 2 Halloween returning items in Splatoon 3 now. People need to turn on their Switch, visit the SRL News story in the News section, then visit the Lobby Terminal in-game to get the four Head parts. (These were claimed in the same way in the previous entry.)
For a reminder of how those look, here’s the official announcement showing the designs from social media.
Nintendo already established it would be rerunning past Splatfest events in Splatoon 3 even though support is drawing to a close, and we’ve seen the Splatoween events return before in the second game.
Splatoon 3 is available on the Nintendo Switch.
