A brand new Maximus Cup event has been announced for Tetris 99, but this one is particularly special. The event will be celebrating Splatoon 2's final Splatfest, giving players a chance to unlock a Splatoon-themed in-game theme.
The event will be taking place from 12th July at 12am PT up until 15th July at 11:59pm PT. Just like past Maximum Cup events, players who earn 100 points over the course of the weekend will unlock the bonus prize.
So far, the event has been confirmed for Japan and North America, but we can't see why it wouldn't also make its way to Europe. We'll keep an eye out for further announcements.
WIll you be taking part in this one? Will you be aiming to pick up that Splatoon theme? Tell us below.

So, next year?
So it's......Splatetris?
Neat, I didn't participate in the previous event because of fatigue, but I'll make the effort to unlock this theme.
I was hoping for a Mario style Tetris theme. (like the DS game) but this is fine.
you mean July right?
@Meckus they are finally giving me enough time to have a legitimate Tetris training camp. There is no way I lose this one.
Article says June, June is the 6th month and has passed. Think you meant to say July
so are they dropping support for Splatoon 2 then?
That's a pretty cool crossover.
@PortablexombieV2 indubitably.
I am calling it now guys. Link's awakening: Tetris 99 Edition coming in early September.
Seriously though, Splatoon is a win.
Been ages since I've played Tetris 99 but I'll definitely jump on to unlock the theme. Very cool, I love it.
@AlphaElite or Tetrisplatoon
Aaaactually tempted to start up Tetris 99 for this.
This sounds amazing! Can't wait!
Yes please, love the idea of earning themes
This could be a really cool way to keep the game fresh. Different themes based on different games. Keep em coming!
Having a goal everyone can achieve is much better than trying to make it in the top 999 to earn points/money.
Multiple themes would be great - I would love to have a Mario theme myself! I wonder if Splatoon music will be playing if you have that theme equipped (example: when there's 10 players remaining, Now or Never starts playing).
@Divinebovine No. It's just there to celebrate the Final Fest and give people a little bonus thing Splatoon themed. Calm down.
@Divinebovine Sort of. Balancing will continue for an unknown amount of time, but we're at the end of new content coming out. Considering it's been two years... well they've kept it going a long long time for a shooter.
@sanderev Hey that's another person who knows the best themes!
That's pretty neat! I really like both of these games and it starts on my birthday 😃
That sounds great! Totally gonna have to play that, and jump back into Splatoon 2 for that last Splatfest too.
Very bittersweet. Kinda makes me wonder if we will see a Splatoon 3 in 2021 or something.
@Reigestugatensho I still have Tetris DS and still play it sometimes on my 3DS. The game is truly one of the best Tetris games out there.
I'll be getting this, definitely. Hope they do Mario and Zelda themes too at some point.
100 points, that's just playing one game.
@AlphaElite Splatetris?
That should've been Splatris
Really enjoyed the Gameboy theme so will definitely be going for another. This event really motivates me to get back into Tetris 99.
Still waiting on results from the last Maximus Cup, but this could be fun.
@chiefeagle02 The previous event results are out. I only know because I found £9.99 in my eShop balance!
@Matthew010 I thought there was a few days between Europe and North America getting their rewards. All the same, congratulations on winning!
@chiefeagle02 Thanks!
@sanderev I want a Metroid and Advance Wars theme for Tetris 99! I'd actually like about 50 different themes I could unlock by playing various modes. A Pikmin theme would be awesome too. F-Zero and Super Mario Maker would also be themes I think I'd like a lot.
100 to get the skin? I should be able to get that within 5 matches. Last time it took me 3 matches. But I'm still 4/4 on the Maximus Cups!!
