Pre-order the free demo today and it’ll be downloaded automatically before the event!
Ink on Splatlands and get a tenta-licensing taste of the Splatoon™ 3 game’s newly updated Splatfest Battle* with Splatoon 3: SplatFest World Premiere Demo. New to the Splatoon series? No problem! Ditch your nets in a tutorial to learn the basics from August 25th. Then, take a stroll through Splatsville and get ready for Splatfest.
Oh… a quick explanation for our Marine novices. Here are the deets—choose a Splatfest team by answering a burning, age-old question—which is best: Rock, paper, scissors? Make your moves and super jump in the Battle of the Turf War to ink your crew for victory. Wait…there are three teams?! That’s right, Splatfests are a little different this time around.
The 12-hour demo will start on August 27th. From 9AM-3PM PT, level up the turf against one team at a time. Then, from 3PM-9PM PT, take on the brand new Splatfest Tricolor Turf War Battle. This 4v2v2 format brings a new kind of colorful chaos to Splatfests. Which team will get the lead? Team Rock, Team Paper, or Team Scissors? Let others know by posting messages and sharing your loyalty in the class.
