Splatoon 3 Splatfest start time, options and how to pick a team

Splatoon 3 Splatfest kicks off later this week with the fan favourite mode returning to the game with a new twist.

This time, three teams will battle it out for supremacy. Splatfests happen every few weeks in-game. These events see players across Splatoon 3 pick a side and battle for conch shells.

The start of the Splatfest will see players compete in standard Turf Wars, but later in the event, a new mode, exclusive to Splatoon 3, the Tricolor Turf War will begin.
