Splatoon" is an action shooting game in which players control a mysterious squid that transforms into human form and shoot ink at each other. The latest title, "Splatoon 3," will be released on September 9.

New information about "Splatoon 3" was revealed in the "Splatoon 3 Direct 2022.8.10," which was released on August 10, 2022.

While new information such as new games and characters were revealed one after another, basic information about "Splatoon" was also introduced, so those who are not familiar with "Splatoon" or have never played it before can enjoy the contents.

In addition, it has been decided that an "eve festival" will be held on August 28 (Sun.) from 9:00 to 21:00 to allow players to experience "Splatoon 3" prior to its release on September 9 (Fri.).

The experience will be a "festival match" in which all players will be divided into three forces to battle it out. The players vote on one of the three themes presented, and then form teams of four friends from the same force to battle the opposing team, with the final outcome determined by the winners of all battles.

The theme for the eve of the festival was "Which is the strongest? Goo vs. Poo vs. Choki".

During the first six hours, teams of four players from the same team will face off against the other team in "Navaribari Battle," but in the latter six hours, "Trikara Battle," in which three teams battle each other at once, may occur.

More details will be announced later, so stay tuned!

You can participate in the festival matches by yourself, or create a group with friends who voted for the same forces to play.
