Quickly, drop whatever else it is you're currently playing and join in on the final Splatoon 2 Splatfest.
In the "Splatocalypse" you'll have to side with either Team Chaos (Pearl) or Team Order (Marina) to decide once and for all who reigns supreme. After you've picked a team, you can then participate in this 72-hour event until Sunday afternoon if you live in the UK, or 5 am PT if you're located in North America. In celebration of the grand finale, a new Shifty Stage has been added to the level rotation. Here are the full details:
The 23 previous stages will surface in a constantly...shifting rotation for the first 48 hours, with the new stage making its debut for the final 24-hour period. Special in-game gear will also be distributed in honor of this Splatfest via players’ Nintendo Switch news feed.
Earlier this week, Splatoon 2 was also updated to Version 4.9.1. Here are the full patch notes:
- The data for the Final Splatfest has been updated.
- Fixed an issue causing the player to appear in an unintended location after falling into water while performing a dodge roll with a Dualie weapon equipped.
- Downloading the latest update will prevent matching with players at the Shoal that are using previous update data.
If you want to join in on the fun, Splatoon is currently 33% off its normal price on the UK eShop.

It's been hours of nothing but really laggy Chaos vs Chaos games for me. Makes me almost glad this is the final Splatfest.
@BenAV Should've picked team Order
Team Order for me, shall be playing much of the weekend.
@chardir I always pick the team I like even if I know it'll be more popular. That wouldn't fix the lag problem anyway.
The ink and stages look cool though
@BenAV That's odd, the game was playing great last night for my team & I.
Team Pearl.
Never played and never will, CHAOS ALL THE WAY!!!
@DanteSolablood Played a few games last night while I was staying at my Mum's place and it was unplayably laggy so decided to just stop and wait till I got home. Got home and it's still been unusually laggy. Had some Chaos vs Order matches when I was playing Pro by myself but in three hours of Standard with friends I haven't seen a single Order team. Been very strange.
Chaos is a spatula.
Hi, welcome to Splatfest Restaurant, how may I take your ORDER!!
@BenAV Some of my matches have been a bit laggy, but not unbearable. I'm on Team Order and I have played matches against other Order teams, so I guess it just depends who's around to match up at a particular time. I suspect Chaos will win the popularity contest, but I'm hoping Order will be victorious when it comes to Clout.
Its been a while since I played Splatoon 2.
This is really the final Splatfest?
So does that mean Splat3 is in the works?
If playing Shin Megami Tensei IV has taught me anything, it's that Chaos will always give away to Order in the end so...
Team Order.
I do like the Splatoon 1 music and the intro jingle from the DLC that they are using.
Sorry Marina, but as much as I love you, I gotta go with Chaos this time. But I'll still be looking your way every chance I get xxx
Team Chaos here - so far I've only had one Chaos v Chaos match, the rest have been all been Chaos v Order (standard play, not pro) and no lag so far (even when tethered to my phone) so all good for me!
Had this game on the shelf for almost a year now, and this was the perfect opportunity for me to get acquinted with it.
The game is amazing, pure fun! I now regret not playing it earlier .
Team Order btw
TEAM ORDER
The new world order
You ready
Team chaos, gutted that this is the last splatfest. Love splatoon, one of my fave multiplayer games ever. I just bought the dlc in the last sale and will have to give it a try after a weekend of chaos mayhem.
Chaos IS the natural order. Only true and perfect order is seen in complete chaos! These are the laws of physics.
Team Chaos all the way!
Hope my internet holds up.
End of an era. Splatoon on the Wii U was probably the best new IP I had played since my early days or World of Warcraft. When Splatoon 2 was announced for Switch I saved up cash to buy one then. Picked up BOTW and MK8D at the same time. Those three games lasted me so long! I'm curious what will happen to the Splatoon casual fan community. Diehards will play but I know lots of friends who would only come back for the Splatfests and play for a few days at a time. I really hope the community stays robust.
With the updates, DLC, and Splatfests now finished, I'm guessing the full development team moves onto Splatoon 3. I could see that coming out in 2021 in the mid-life of the Switch.
I’m not gonna have much time to play this weekend. G’ah 😤
Awesome chrome helmet with LED face, how could I not choose team order?
I'm taking advantage of this last chance to get a bunch of sea snails for the second profile I've been building.
Chaos player here. Played a few matches last night & only one of them would have been Chaos vs Chaos had the connection not drop before the match started.
Having a blast on team order. Such a great game!
This Splatfest is amazing, the glittery gold and silver ink looks great! Go Team Order!
Just a reminder to everyone the Octo Expansion DLC is also on sale on it's own too, will definitely be getting it.
Adding old music: great idea.
Only playing one song for an entire day: bad idea.
@DAHstroy Yep, love the metallic inks.
Just a shame I'm not too hot at the game. Takes a while to warm into it and stop making silly mistakes, but even then I'm still generally one of the players those above detest for letting the side down.
Haven't played at all for a while, so don't even feel I know most of the arenas.
Still a great game though. Just hate squid jumping straight into another splatting, or falling off the turf completely
@BenAV I was going to ask if it was a regional server issue until I saw your spelling if "mum", so I'm guessing you're in the UK too?
My best suggestion is to get a LAN adaptor & run this through your dock. It doesn't 100% get rid of lag, but my game has a run a lot better since I bought it.
My team and I were averaging 10-11 splats each per match, but this was around 7pm-11pm so internet was likely quiet
@DanteSolablood Australia. Our Internet is pretty poop.
I've played over 1000 hours in Splatoon 2 and the lag is usually at least manageable. This Splatfest has just been unusually bad for me so far for some reason. And the three hours straight of nothing but mirror matches is just weird. I've played every Splatfest and have never experienced anything like it before.
I’m on Team Chaos. Had a hard time getting into matches because there were not enough players to join any battles. I did get to play one battle of Team Chaos vs Team Order, and Team Order destroyed us. But I had fun. This Splatfest is pretty cool. I love the new ink changes.
I've yet to encounter lag in a Splatfest but I have encountered it before in other modes. Not often, though; it's pretty rare.
(Full disclosure: I usually play docked with a LAN adapter. Latency is usually in the single digits to low teens, which is pretty good since it's Xfinity/Comcast.) lol
#TeamChaos!
@Liam_Doolan Hey dude! Might be worth doing another article to mention that the t-shirts and posters are now available in the UK. Here's the links to the T-Shirts:

I wonder if they will make a new IP now that they finished really early with Splatoon 2.
Went with Marina as I always do. Probably gonna lose the splatfest. Doesn't matter.
In the end there will be only Chaos!
@sikthvash Thanks, I'll check it out soon.
GOD why are Japanese players so good!!!??? throws controller
been meeting buch of noobs, what else is new.
@Manah
agreed but they might change it tomorrow
Quite a shame that my enjoyment of Splatoon 2 kind of piddled out shortly after the first Splatfest. I think my favorite part about the game was the single player campaign to be honest. The multiplayer was fun at times.
