Splatsville's unique decoration and other features for Summer Nights

As a special Splatfest, Summer Nights is accompanied by several cosmetic changes to the game, as well as new gear:

  • Splatsville, Inkopolis Plaza, and Inkopolis Square are decorated with a summer theme. These decorations include hanging flowers, artificial palm trees, multiple pool floats, balloons and ice cream. The kitsune statue in Inkopolis Plaza can be seen wearing sunglasses.
  • Deep Cut, the Squid Sisters, and Off the Hook wear special outfits.
    • Shiver's eyebrows, shawl and hair change to yellow, the latter having a gradient to purple towards the tips. She wears green leaf-shaped earrings in place of her usual ones, and an ornament resembling a large, curved lime slice pierced with light wooden chopsticks on her head. Her sarashi and charm tassels are changed to black, her shawl presents a dark yellow swirl circle pattern, and the soles of her shoes are electric blue; her fingertips are colored purple.
    • Frye's hair, eyelashes, shawl, and eyebrows are changed to blue. She wears green leaf-shaped earrings in place of her usual ones, and two blueberry-shaped ornaments on each side of her head, the left one also having another smaller blueberry on the front. Her usual shirt is colored white, while her pants are dark blue with a lighter swirly circle pattern and her socks are black; her fingertips and toe tips, as well as the holes on her pants and the tassels of her charm, are colored yellow.
    • Big Man has a coloration reminiscent of watermelon, with his body being green with a white stripe in the middle and his fins being red with a gradient to white towards the bottom, a magenta swirl pattern and black seed shapes. He wears a pair of magenta sunglasses on his head.
    • The Squid Sisters wear completely new, black and holographic outfits that do not bear any similarity with their usual ones. Callie wears a holographic strapless crop top with two zippers on the sides, a matching miniskirt, a light black mesh covering her midriff, and black tights; her footwear consists in a pair of silver ankle boots with black laces and chunky-heeled holographic soles. Similarly to her, Marie also wears a holographic strapless crop top, but it does not feature zippers; in place of Callie's miniskirt, mesh and tights, she wears baggy black suspenders and has her midriff bare, while her shoes are the same as her cousin's. They both wear lemon slices as ornaments, with Callie's having a prawn and a rosemary twig, and Marie's having an oyster and dill. Both of them also have new haircuts, with their back tentacles having been cut on the tips and their bangs straightened; Callie's bangs are one piece and feature short swirly sideburns, while Marie's are split in three and feature chunkier sideburns. The tips of their tentacles are colored lilac; Callie wears a cuff on the top of her left ear, while Marie wears black chain earrings on both.
    • Off the Hook wear outfits similar to their usual ones, with Pearl wearing a black version of her usual dress and boots, accompanied by her usual gloves and dark gray tights; her crown is replaced by a black mesh baseball cap with a holographic studded front, while her left front tentacle has a piercing-like ring on it, similar to her appearance in the music video for the song Suffer No Fools. Marina wears a holographic version of her usual shirt and shorts, while her boots, headphones and gloves are the usual black; she wears a straight purple visor on her eyes, dark gray tights, and her tentacles have a gradient to purple, while her fingers have a gradient to yellow. She also wears a ring matching Pearl's on her back left tentacle.

New gear will be available through the Nintendo Switch News app:
