Splatoon 3: Grand Festival is Sept. 12 – a 72-hour Splatfest filled with musical performances, Tricolor Battles and more!

Nintendo :

The Grand Festival, the biggest Splatfest* event ever for the Splatoon 3 game on the Nintendo Switch system, is coming soon! Starting Sept. 12 at 5 p.m. PT to Sept. 15 at 5 p.m. PT, it will feature 72 hours of non-stop musical performances from the Splatoon series groups, and players trying to splat their rivals to answer the question, “Which is the most important to you: Past, Present or Future?”
 
Dive in for More Deets:
 
Before the Grand Festival, Grizzco will need employees to clock in for the next Big Run event, taking place in the Grand Splatlands Bowl from Sept. 6 at 5:00 p.m. PT and running through 5:00 p.m. PT on Sept. 8. Everyone who participates in this Big Run will receive in-game fish scale rewards – but only if the worldwide 700,000,000 (not a typo!) Golden Egg quota is reached, so get out there and don’t slack off!
 
The Grand Festival kicks off with performances from all three Splatoon groups – Squid Sisters, Off the Hook and Deep Cut – as they rotate between three distinct stages (rumor has it that the scaffolding in front of the Giant Clam stage will be a great vantage point for taking pics). They will then form one mega group, the Now or Never Seven, for a performance of their newest single, “Three Wishes,” during the final 24 hours of the Splatfest. All festival long, players can get into the rhythm and express themselves with exclusive emotes, as well.
 
Listen up! Three-team Tricolor Battles will be available from the very start of the Splatfest. Every previous Tricolor Battle stage will return and be in rotation during the event’s first 48 hours, including Scorch Gorge, which was previously exclusive to the Legend of Zelda themed Splatfest. The final 24 hours will see the rollout of the exclusive Tricolor Battle stage: the Grand Splatlands Bowl. Snag the Ultra Signal on this stage and, based on your team, the Squid Sisters, Off the Hook or Deep Cut will arrive to cheer you on!
 
Looking for a fresh photo-op? Everyone who reaches “Ruler” rank in the Splatfest can snap a selfie with any of the three musical groups on the Giant Clam stage. Achieve Ruler rank and players can rep the Splatlands with the Deep Cut pose, and those that own the paid Splatoon 3 Expansion Pass DLC** can unlock poses for the Squid Sisters and Off the Hook, too! Plus, players can unlock a brand-new pose by reaching the title above Ruler.
