As many followers assumed, Splatoon 3’s Grand Pageant was its ultimate Splatfest, so common updates for the sport are coming to an finish.
Over the weekend, Splatoon 3 held a large Grand Pageant, closely implied to be the finale of the final two years of Splatfests. Now, as introduced on the official North America Splatoon Twitter, it has been confirmed that common updates are wrapping up, although that does not imply help for the sport is ending. “After 2 INK-credible years of Splatoon 3, common updates will come to an in depth,” reads the announcement tweet. “Don’t be concerned! Splatoween, Frosty Fest, Spring Fest, and Summer time Nights will proceed with some returning themes! Updates for weapon changes can be launched as wanted. Huge Run, Eggstra Work, and Month-to-month Challenges will proceed in the meanwhile.”
Should you weren’t conscious, this ultimate Splatfest was themed round Previous, Current, and Future, with the primary sport’s Callie and Marie representing Previous, the second sport’s Pearl and Marina representing Current, and the third sport’s Deep Lower representing Future. Sadly for Deep Lower, Future walked away with zero factors whole, placing it in lifeless final. Current, i.e. Pearl and Marina, got here second with 370 factors, leaving Previous, i.e. Callie and Marie, in first place with 500 factors. Essential to notice right here is that the ultimate Splatfests of the primary and second video games had a small affect on how the next video games’ story performed out. So if Splatoon 4 is within the works, it will be attention-grabbing to see how Previous successful impacts it.
The Japanese Nintendo channel additionally launched a really cute video displaying off the Grand Pageant in motion, which you’ll try above, alongside numerous bits of artwork that have been launched alongside Splatfest over the previous couple of years, and their respective winners (although if you happen to do not recognise some that is as a result of Japan and the West often had differing themes).
With Splatoon 3 now wrapped up, it will possible be some time till we get a brand new one, particularly as the precise dev crew has quite a lot of overlap with Animal Crossing – and with a Change 2 announcement coming probably any day now, that looks like the right platform to launch on.
