The Splatoon 3 Splatfest World Premiere was a free Splatoon 3 demo featuring the Rock vs. Paper vs. Scissors Splatfest. Much like its predecessor, it allowed players to engage in up to twelve hours of four-versus-four Splatfest Turf Wars, as well as up to six hours of four-versus-two-versus-two Tricolor Turf Wars ahead of the full game's release.

Details

The demo was made available to pre-order on 10 August 2022, immediately after its reveal in the Splatoon 3 Nintendo Direct; preloads of the software began on 18 August 2022.

Starting from 25 August 2022, the demo was available to play; players were allowed to complete the tutorial, choose a side in the Rock vs. Paper vs. Scissors Splatfest, explore Splatsville, adjust their Splashtag, as well as both view and create posts. All forms of matchmaking were unavailable as players were not allowed to enter any Lobbies nor shops; a limited selection of weapons and gear were automatically unlocked for each player, with the option to equip any of the available options at the player's leisure.

On the same day, a seven-day free trial for Nintendo Switch Online was made available with the intent to allow all Nintendo Switch owners to participate in the demo. The trial codes were emailed to players immediately upon downloading the demo to their Nintendo Switch and featured a limited activation period from 25 August 2022 until 31 August 2022 at 08:00 UTC.[1]

The event itself took place on 27 August 2022; players could take part in the twelve-hour Splatfest at different times depending on their selected region. During the event, players were allowed entry to the lobby and thus could play Open or Pro Splatfest Battles. Splatfest Battles had a chance to turn into x10, x100 or x333 Battles, rewarding larger amounts of clout to the winning team. This demo notably introduced the Tricolor Turf War mode, wherein all three Splatfest teams compete in a special three-way Turf War at once. This mode was unlocked following the event's Halfway Report, which occurred six hours after the event's start.

None of the cash, experience, Super Sea Snails, or other save data created during the demo could be carried over to the full version of the game upon its release.

Customizable options

Upon opening the Splatfest World Premiere demo and completing the tutorial, all players had the following customizable weapon, gear and Splashtag options fully unlocked. Players started out with the Splattershot Jr., Cephalo Pods, Tri-Shred Tee, and Force ReBoots equipped, as well as the default Splashtag.

Weapons

There were 26 weapons[2] available during the Splatfest Premiere, which was half as many as were available upon the full game's initial release. The following weapons were available:

Gear

There were 37 pieces of gear available to choose from in the demo: 18 pieces of headgear, 2 pieces of clothing, and 17 pairs of shoes. As was the case with previous Splatfests in the series, players could not unequip the Splatfest Tee after the event began.

The following pieces of headgear were available:

Splashtag options

Players were equipped with the default "Splatlandian Youth" title and the default yellow-and-green banner by default. Badges were not available nor unlockable during the demo. After completing an initial match, players were thereafter allowed to change their nickname from the default option "Player" by using the Lobby Terminal.

Quotes

“ OK, sorry - we're so excited that we're just gonna keep tweeting. How about that Splatfest World Premiere! First, the idea of a 3-way Splatfest is mind-blowing. And the theme? A statistical exploration of the benefits of Rock vs. Paper vs. Scissors? We're swooning. Scientifically.

Oh! We forgot to mention WHEN the Splatfest will be. It'll begin Saturday, August 27th at 9 AM PT. And it goes until 9 PM PT! You'll form squads with other folks who choose the same team - Rock, Paper, or Scissors - and battle it out to see which is best!

Trivia

  • For unknown reasons, Australia and New Zealand were combined with Hong Kong and South Korea when selecting a region upon first starting the demo; this goes against the fact those countries are combined with the Americas in the full game, like in Splatoon 2. This was likely done to better account for time zone differences, an issue not present with the 48-hour Splatfests seen in the full game, hence why it only affected the demo.
    • Additionally, Japanese Splatfest text was available for the Australia/New Zealand/Hong Kong/South Korea region, despite the game warning that this may not be the case for players whose system language is set to Japanese.
