You might want to get ready to say goodbye to Splatoon 3’s Splatfests, as a big “Grand Festival” is on the way, and it certainly seems like things are wrapping up.

Nintendo announced earlier this week that to celebrate two years of Splatoon 3, it’s holding a “Grand Festival” with “72 hours of festivities.” Described as “the biggest Splatfest ever” the event kicks off on September 13, and it sure does seem like it’ll be the game’s last ever Splatfest. For one, Splatoon 2 only received two years worth of consistent Splatfests, and with it being two years since Splatoon 3, and the grandeur nature of this one, you best prepare yourselves for the idea that there won’t be any more. The event will run until September 16, and will feature a new hub area.

So what’s the theme for this one? Past, Present, and Future of course, the Past team representing Splatoon OGs Callie and Marie, Present representing Pearl and Marina, and Future representing Deep Cut’s Frye, Shiver, and Big Man. Yeah, with a theme like that, I’m not exactly sure there’s even a Splatfest theme you could appropriately follow it up with. Alongside this Splatfest, a couple of new amiibo sets are on the way too, which you can check out below.
