Splatoon 3 launched a Splatoon Raiders collaboration Splatfest tied to the upcoming single-player spin-off Splatoon Raiders, timed as new Japanese commercials and a promotional sneak peek build anticipation. Players picked between Team Speed, Team Power, and Team Tactics for the event, and Team Power took the Sneak Peek lead, turning the matchups into immediate bragging rights and livestream goals. Conversation and creative posts center on Raider-era details like exploring the Spirhalite Islands and facing hordes of Salmonids, unlocking Neo Octoling Armor, and using the Shiver, Frye, and Big Man amiibo outfits. The Splatfest has become a weekend rally to livestream, push rank to Champion, and share original characters and pre-release excitement ahead of the game's launch.
