'Summer Nights' Is Bringing A Seasonal Splatfest And Free Gear To Splatoon 3

Tell me more, tell me more

Nice, I will participate and I am looking forward to the headgear.

That they keep adding stages and modes, that's great I guess, but new weapons, isn't it everytime throwing off the whole balance of the game?
I don't play Splatoon, but am wondering after seeing all these updates.

Squid Sisters vs Off the Hook vs Deep Cut Splatfest Incoming!

I think I might be burned out on Splatoon at the moment. There's so, so much grinding involved in Splatoon 3 and it's so tedious.

Splatfests too have gotten less fun for me. I'll still participate, but the multiplier matches in particular just give me too much stress. Last Splatfest I had 2 x100 matches within 3 matches and lost both and it sucked any and all desire I had to continue playing it at that moment. So instead I just went ahead and finished Final Fantasy 6 there. Had a much better time.

All that said though, the vibe of Splatfest is still real good and I'm loving the new gear. I'll certainly be playing the new Splatfest. But I'm hoping I won't get too many of those multiplier matches anymore.

@Yalloo no. The community adapts every time. I follow a pro on YouTube, and he always analyzes how the new weapons will affect the meta. Usually, it's either good or insignificant.

@Yosher yeah, I usually don't do the Splatfests. The rewards aren't significant anyways. Matter of fact, I haven't played S3 since the beginning of the current season because BACKLOG (I'm currently playing through Minish Cap).

@batmanbud2 Cool, thanks, good to know.

Ah, so that's what "sweat " meant in the files. Cool!

I see a Kitsune mask, I need

@FoxyDude yeah, am I the only one here who got reminded of Drift from Fortnite Chapter 1, Season 5 when I saw that mask?

@batmanbud2 I'm familiar with Drift but I've been into Kitsune stuff well before he was revealed so Drift isn't my first thought.
IMO, Kimiko is a much better kitsune Fortnite skin

@batmanbud2 Funny enough they're making this next Splatfest more rewarding by allowing shells to be earned through multiplier and mirror matches (the shells you can use on the gumball machine in the lobby, I mean). Personally I haven't missed a single Splatfest yet since the first game but Splatoon 3's grinding really makes it so much less fun.

Also Minish Cap is an excellent game! I've played through it twice myself. Hoping you're having a good time with it!

We went from skipping a Splatoween to having a new seasonal Splatfest introduced.

Ooooh those new masks are coool. Man I love this game.

I really like the spider crab mascot thing so I'll def get the masks just to wear that one (the others look cool too though)
