Splatoon 3 Splatoween Returns With Wizard Vs. Knight Vs. Ninja
Nintendo is reusing a theme it already ran for Splatoween in 2024, which suggests the seasonal event now leans on familiar setups rather than new ones.

Nintendo announced on September 25 that Splatoon 3 will hold its Halloween Splatfest, Splatoween, for 48 hours from 9:00 a.m. on October 31 to 9:00 a.m. on November 2. The theme is "Which would you choose for a fantasy world? Wizard vs. Knight vs. Ninja." Players pick one of the three sides for Splatfest battles, and the city takes on a Halloween atmosphere. Splatoween is one of the game's seasonal Splatfests.
The three sides are Wizard, Knight, and Ninja, and players commit to one before the battles begin. During the event the city is wrapped in a mysterious atmosphere, with Halloween-specific dressing applied to the hub areas. The window runs 48 hours, from the morning of October 31 to the morning of November 2. Splatoween is one of the seasonal Splatfests in Splatoon 3, and the same theme ran for the 2024 edition, when Splatsville, Inkopolis, and Inkopolis Square were transformed into Halloween versions. Nintendo announced the dates and theme on September 25 through the official Splatoon account.
