Splatoon 3's 2026 Summer Nights Splatfest has kicked off, and Team Palace won the Sneak Peek that set the event's early momentum. Players are picking sides between Palace and Theme Park, with one creator sharing detailed mail art and another posting a painstaking festival-themed project they said took ages. Nintendo announced playing during the event grants 100 Platinum Coins and exclusive Nintendo Switch Online icons, to be distributed between August 27 and September 9. Community moments also include a shoutout to FromSoftware for timing a network test so some fans could join Splatfest play sessions.
