A brand new Splatfest is on the way to Splatoon 2, this time returning to the wonderful worldwide setup where all major regions face off in the same themed event. The theme in question? Knights vs Wizards.
The event will take place from 16th March to 17th March, lasting for exactly one day with times varying depending on your region (you'll be notified of the times for your area when logging on to the game). The Splatfest asks which of the two options you'd prefer to be.
In a nice touch, your usual Splatfest tee can become part of a full outfit for this particular event. If you have the correct shoes and headgear for either theme, and wear both of these alongside your shirt, the tee will change to complete the set. You can see this for yourself in the images below.
Incidentally, the game will also be updated to Version 4.5.0 this weekend. The update is expected to brings changes to some main, sub, and special weapons - as well as some changes to gear power - but will not include any new content.
Will you be taking part in the Splatfest? Let us know which side you'll be fighting for below.

I have not played for awhile, this may bring me back, cool outfits!
I've not played for quite a long time now, if this doesn't get my me back I might as well trade it.
lol I play it everyday
Just a reminder that we're nearing the end of this game's Splatfest run. It's sad but true.
It’s off the hook and I need to get back into it.
This way
Booyah
Really only ever play this game when there is a splatfest at this point in time
Didn't play Splatoon 2 for months. Maybe it's time, to get my ass kicked again? 🤔
Let’s go team knights!
Ugh tough choice! Leaning team knight.
Knight is my go to, but as always, I forget and miss the entire splatfest, just like the last 5 of them.
Ayy Wizards yo! Knights are cool but wizards are better.~
I've been using the wizard hat a lot too, I knew I had to use that one the moment it was shown off in that Octoling amiibo video. Really nice Splatfest theme this time too.
Haven't played in awhile - but loving the Harry Potter Cosplay!
Great now I need to buy the amiibos
Haha, love the outfits, that's fun. I'll actually be with a buddy of mine that weekend, so this might work perfectly!
I'm a wizard Barry!
Wish I had the Amibo for these outfits.
Might get back into it for this one, but it sucks that the end is near for this game. It's the main reason I bought a Switch in the first place!
The knight costume is cool. Thus, I am a knight come this Splatfest. Have at you wizard!
@TheAwesomeBowser Why are we near the end of Splatfest?
@puddinggirl Because it was confirmed they'd be ending them in July of this year

Yeah you have wizards like Harry Potter or Merlin, but then you have knights like...
Shovel Knight
7 Deadly Sins, especially Escanor
And speaking of the sun, theres Solaire
Awesome - anything that gives me a legitimate avenue to lay a beat down on Harry Potter fans is okay with me! jk jk
Time to utilize my Witch's hat I got with my amiibo! I hope the ink is sparkly like they've done for previous Splatfests!

@Bliquid Was just pulling your leg. No harm intended.
