It’s a fantasy fracas in the latest Splatfest! This medieval showdown asks, which would you rather be, a knight or a wizard?

Charge into battle from 3/15, 9:00pm PT to 3/16, 9:00pm PT.

This Splatfest also has a fun feature – if you match your headgear and shoes with the ones from the Enchanted or Steel series, available through the Octoling Girl or Octoling Boy amiibo figures, the look of your Splatfest Tee will change to the clothes from each series during battles.

Please note the main gear ability of the clothes remains the same as the Splatfest Tee and is Ability Doubler.

As the old saying goes, April Ink Storms bring May flowers, and that means Spring Fest is right around the corner! This special event is using the power of pastels to turn Inkopolis Square into a colorful hot spot!

Battle it out in the 48-hour event from April 19th, 3:00pm PT to April 21st, 3:00pm PT.

The theme of Spring Fest is “which will win in a race, the hare or the tortoise?”

Along with this Splatfest, some spring-colored gear will be given out via the Squid Research Lab Report (Splatoon 2) News Channel on your Nintendo Switch system: Spring colored visors and colorful custom kicks with design supervision from Pearl and Marina!

The latest Splatfest approaches, and this time, it’s theoretical! Which superpower would you rather have? Would you rather break the clock with Team Time Travel, or take an instant trip anywhere with Team Teleportation?

The research team have taken some time to weigh these highly illogical options, but we haven’t been able to determine a winner. Looks like it’s up to you!

The Splatfest gets started 5/17 9:00pm PT, and runs until 5/18 9:00pm PT.

Splatoon 2 Final Splatfest

It’s been two years since the launch of Splatoon 2, and now the shadow of the Splatocalypse is coming! This final Splatfest asks “Which world would you choose? Chaos or Order?”

Will you fight for a world of chaos, with an ever-shifting blur of boundaries and borders, where the only path through the confusion is that which you carve out for yourself? Or will you battle for a world of order governed by an unwavering discipline, in which your path toward a promised future is straight and well-paved? The time has come and the choice is yours!

This Splatfest will be a 72 hour event running from 7/18 at 5am PT until 7/21 at 5am PT, wrapping up exactly two years from the game’s initial launch. Make sure not to miss this be all, end all “Splatocalypse” extravaganza!

In addition, a new Shifty Station stage will be added for this Final Splatfest, and all 23 of the previous Splatfest-specific stages will be making a reappearance, too. The 23 previous stages will surface in a constantly…shifting rotation for the first 48 hours, with the new stage making its debut for the final 24 hour period. This is just the chance to relive all your favorite Splatfest battle memories!

We’ll also be releasing some special gear to go along with the Final Splatfest. Each side will see two pieces of unique headgear inspired by the themes of chaos and order, for a total of four! Look for an upcoming report from Squid Research Lab (Splatoon 2) Nintendo Switch News Channel in late June to find out how to grab this great gear!

Following the Final Splatfest in late July, the Ver. 5.0.0. Update is planned for release. This update will add the “Turf War (Splatfest)” option to Private Battles, allowing you to battle it out on any of the 24 Shifty Station stages.

File:S2 5.0.0 Private Battle Turf War Splatfest.jpg

Playing in “Turf War (Splatfest)” will also cause all 23 of the normal stages to appear in all their nighttime Splatfest splendor! You’ll also be able to select team ink color combinations from all those used in previous Splatfests. Get together with your friends and host a private Splatfest-themed party of your very own!

File:S2 Final Fest Callie and Princess Cannon.jpg

Callie: Team Chaos
“I might be a pop star, but even I want to pop off every now and then!” She can be a handful for Marie with her carefree and adventurous attitude, but it’s that same free spirit that qualifies her to be a resident of the world of Chaos.

#Splatoon 2 #Nintendo Switch #Nintendo #Team Chaos #Final Splatfest

28 June 2019


File:S2 Final Fest Marie and Hyperbomb.jpg

Marie: Team Order
“Someone around here has to keep it together…” Even though Callie’s free spirit has been a good influence on her, Marie still like things to be nice and neat. Even a bit of idle chit-chat needs a solid one-liner to stitch things up, which is why she’s a solid candidate for the world of Order.

#Splatoon 2 #Final Splatfest #Team Chaos #Team Order #Nintendo #Nintendo Switch

29 June 2019


July

Sheldon: Team Neutral
“Go on! Give it a shot!” So long as the Turf War battles rage on, so too will Sheldon dedicate his life to crafting ink-based weaponry. This horseshoe crab cares not for the fate of Inkopolis…so long as he can continue to invent new ways to splat.

#Nintendo #Nintendo Switch #Splatoon 2 #Final Splatfest #Team Chaos #Team Order

File:S2 Final Fest Spyke and Princess Cannon.jpg

Spyke: Team Chaos
“Oi, mate. You really fink this festival’s gunna decide the fate of the world, then?” You’ve seen him in the café, fingers dancing across the keyboard of his laptop. Could those same fingers be pulling the strings of society? He may have found a way to exploit the peaceful order of Inkopolis, but make no mistake–at his core, Spyke is an agent of Chaos.

File:S2 Final Fest Murch and Hyperbomb.jpg

Murch: Team Order
“This new gear I got’ll blow your fins off, for reals!"

One quick glance into Murch’s eye will tell you where his loyalties lie. This driven street urchin has laser focus and never rests on his laurels. Though he follows in the footsteps of an agent of chaos, he is, without question, ready to take your Order.

#Splatoon 2 #Nintendo Switch #Nintendo #Final Splatfest #Team Chaos #Team Order

1 July 2019


Mr. Grizz: Neutral
“Don’t be so worried. The sea answers all questions.”
As far as this mysterious being is concerned, the shallow affairs of Inkopolis are insignificant next to the vast depth of the seven seas. No matter what fate may await the world, the sea watches silently, biding its time.

#Splatoon 2 #Final Splatfest #Nintendo Switch #Nintendo #Team Chaos #Team Order

2 July 2019


Annie: Team Chaos
“Umm… Gear abilities are cool and stuff…I guess.”
Items stocked in her online shop provide a flair of eccentricity not available in standard gear. Squidkids everywhere are constantly refreshing their phones for a chance to snag her latest release.

Crusty Sean & Bisk: Team Order
Their shared love for footwear make it natural that they’d end up on the same side. When these neighbors get caught up in shoe talk, it can last until sunup. Is THAT why the lines for Sean’s food truck are so long?

“Oh, friends, what’s a world without wild parties? Join me, won’t you?”
Flow and Craymond set up shop looking to connect with the energies of the universe. They now hope to open a new world’s third eye to the exciting possibilities of chaos.

#Splatoon 2 #Nintendo Switch #Nintendo #Final Splatfest #Team Chaos #Team Order

5 July 2019


Jelfonzo: Team Order
“Forsooth, but fashion flourishes or fails on its fundamentals.”
Though a proponent of the idea that fashion is a form of freedom, Jelfonzo is also firm that context is king. One look in his watery eyes confirms his constant commitment to couture.

#Splatoon 2 #Nintendo Switch #Nintendo #Final Splatfest #Team Chaos #Team Order

6 July 2019


Salmonids: Team Chaos
Their single-minded drive to get back to their spawning grounds COULD be seen as orderly…if you squint. But who are we kidding? The frenzied, indiscriminate way they stampede over everyone and everything in the way of that goal is chaos to a T.

#Splatoon 2 #Nintendo Switch #Nintendo #Final Splatfest #Team Chaos #Team Order

7 July 2019


Octarians: Team Order
“The light that was denied us will be ours.”
Since the Great Turf War drove them below, they have used their technological skill to bring a sort of order to their realm. But deep down, they know true order cannot be fabricated. It must be seized.

Iso Padre: Team Chaos

“It’s the flaws that make a thing beautiful. Someday you’ll see that too.”
What drove the Padre to team Chaos? Could be that after so long traveling the same rails in the same car, he’s ready for something new, no matter what shape it takes.

Cap’n Cuttlefish & Agent 3: Team Order

“We’re on duty today, whether you like it or not. Can’t sleep while the enemy plots!”
Agents 1 and 2 are generally busy with their own problems these days, so these guardians of order protect the denizens of Inkopolis from the shadows.

#Splatoon 2 #Nintendo Switch #Nintendo #Final Splatfest #Team Chaos #Team Order

10 July 2019


Agent 4: Team Chaos

Agent 4 is the type of squid who goes with the flow, even when the waters are raging. This silent squid values freedom and flexibility more than anything, and while it’s rumored that Agent 4 helped Marie save the world or whatever, I’m pretty sure that was mostly Marie’s idea.

File:Aget8order.jpg

Agent 8: Team Order
Even Octolings who’ve been freed by the Calamari Inkantation don’t lose their disciplined personalities. Agent 8 can’t sleep at night until every nearby weapon has been methodically cleaned and checked. In fact, I hear Sheldon might be looking to hire Eight to work at Ammo Knights.

DJ Octavio & Li'l Judd: Team Chaos

“Don’t furget about us!”
One has tasted bitter defeat in battle. The other is literally a copycat. These two may be nothing alike, but their desire to step out of the shadows and into the light burns with all the chaos of a firestorm. Actually…they’re pretty similar when you think about it.

“These failed prototypes, endlessly warring for turf…”

Pearl: Team Chaos

“With chaos, you never know what’ll happen next, which is AWESOME!”
The Queen of Chaos won’t stand for a world full of the same old boring colors. What new hues will the power of her voice unleash during the Final Splatfest?

Judd: Neutral

After the countless battles he’s presided over, always watching, always judging—is the future reflected in his eyes one of order…or chaos? Whatever the case may be, the final showdown is about to kick off! It’s Splatocalypse time!

17 July 2019


A Splatocalypse of cataclysmic proportions has arrived! Will you side with the punky Pearl and thrash towards victory with Team Chaos? Or join forces with the mellow Marina and harmonize with Team Order?

The Final Splatfest begins today, and runs until 7/21 at 5am PT!
