Splatoon 3 is fast-approaching, and later this week there's a Splatfest World Premiere demo going live - where players can see what the game has to offer and get a little bit of practice in before the big release next month.
If you have been wondering just how much of the game will be on offer, Nintendo has now revealed on its social channels that it'll be making a whopping 26 weapons available to Inklings and Octolings when this demo goes live.
It name-dropped some new ones like the Splatana Wiper and the Tri-Stringer, but it didn't detail any others beyond this:
A whopping 26 weapons will be available for you to try out in Saturday's #Splatoon3 Splatfest World Premiere demo, including all-new ones like the Splatana Wiper and Tri-Stringer. See which one you like best!
This first Splatfest for Splatoon 3 kicks off on 27th August, and the demo will go live on 25th August. There'll be tutorials, the ability to roam around Splatsville and battles. The first one is Rock, Paper, Scissors. You can learn more in our PSA: Splatoon 3: Splatfest World Premiere Demo Is Available To Pre-Install

I’m so excited for the first splat fest for Splatoon 3, I’m ready to kick some butt , I also can’t wait to get the actual game for the Switch, I’m so pumped to play it this weekend 😁😁😁
Ahhhhh. I’m so excited! This weekend is going to be very fun.
Yup. Preloaded and ready to go. I'm psyched. Really looking forward to the tutorial and seeing Splatsville.
SCISSORS FOR LIFE
@FroZtedFlakerZz Big Man gang rise up
I know what I’m doing this week!
I dont even think Splatoon 3 looked exciting enough to try the this test run. Lol. I dunno...loved 1 and 2 but seeing as 3 is simply more of the exact same, I think I'll pass.
Nice, looking forward to the Splatfest.
@invictus4000 I think you're lying to yourself if you say you love 1 and 2. It would be a no-brainer to love 3 as well if it's "more of the same."
really looking forward to giving the Splatana a go, I mained the Octobrush back in Splatoon 1 and in my early Splatoon 2 days so having another, more offensive weapon like it should be pretty fun
Awesome! I hope the Heavy Splatling will be one of them.
I hope to use the Bloblobber again. Hehe.
@invictus4000 Every Call of Duty, Fifa, Assassin's Creed, Battlefield, are the same every year. Nintendo has ONE franchise with incremental releases. Also it's one of their most popular, so don't change what's working. (Don't fix what ain't broken)
Me personally can't wait to play the Splatfest, and am happy to jump into the new game next month.

Don't care, I only ever use the Splat Roller in Splatoon games.
Still waiting for the Tri-Clash Blaster and Blobblobber that lobs Fizzy Bombs. I can't aim. In case you couldn't tell.
This splatfest will most likely be crucial among the reluctants!
@invictus4000
To be fair, the whole point of the demo is to see if the game is different enough. Give it a try, because you aren't gonna get an opportunity like this for maybe a whole year.
Oh, nice! Now we need to find out how many stages are in the demo. It would be great if it was all of them so far but I'm hoping for a decent number.
26?! That's an absolutely absurd amount! Can't wait to finally try out Splatanas for the first time as well, I'm about to go Ryu Hayabusa on everyone!
Also, please put in the training room in this demo OR SO HELP ME GOD!
26 weapons ready with a million more well on the way.
@ModdedInkling Very good point!
My gut says the majority will be faves from Splatoon 2. But then I think this is a demo, it might not directly translate over to the full game. So they might also go all out and showcase a crazy assortment that won't be there in the main game. The drop off might annoy people, but they could head off any surprise saying these are prototypes or something.
Definitely one way to get ahead of datamining and have your updates too.
