Trick or treat in the Splatlands.

With support for Splatoon 3 winding to a close, Nintendo has announced an upcoming Splatoween-themed Splatfest that asks: “What would you be in a fantasy world? A wizard, knight, or ninja?” The Splatfest is said to occur later this month on October 25 at 17:00 PDT to October 27 at 17:00 PDT. Additionally, for those who wish to embrace all things spooky, a free gift that can be collected via the News section on the Nintendo Switch is available now. For the full details, we have them here:

Oh goodness, our sweet tooth is acting up again—this can only mean one thing! Yes, it’s almost time for Splatoween!

(No, you’re not having deja-boo.)

Both Inklings and Octolings are going batty for a ghoulish Splatfest* happening later this month (Friday, Oct. 25 at 5:00 p.m. PT to Sunday, Oct. 27 at 5:00 p.m. PT). This event’s question is dressed to impress: What would you be in a fantasy world? A wizard, knight, or ninja?

To get ready for the event, here’s a gift for you! To receive free in-game gear, simply open the game via the News article on your Nintendo Switch™ device** and then access the terminal in the Lobby. Think of it like your own little treat bag—just make sure that you either have the game card inserted or the digital version of the game on your system.

We hope you enjoy this boo-tiful gear!

About Splatoon 3:

Ink, swim, and splat in the freshest shooter around – 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.
