Nintendo has announced that it’s getting into the spirit of the spooky season with a special Hallowe’en-themed Splatfest event, coming to Splatoon 2 soon.
Catchily known as Splatoween, Nintendo’s celebratory Splatfest will run from 3pm October 19th to 3pm October 21st, and sees the ever-fashionable Inkopolis Square on the receiving end of a major makeover. The city’s bustling hub will be draped in ghoulish bunting, and given an extra flourish with an appropriately nauseating orange and slime green colour scheme.
The macabre merriment will also carry over into Splatoween’s stage roster, with Splatoon 2’s Moray Towers, Starfish Mainstage and Musselforge Fitness maps all appearing decked to the nines in the screenshots accompanying Nintendo’s Splatfest announcement in Japan.
Additionally, Nintendo will be completing the spooky aesthetic bu giving players access to a pleasing selection of Halloween costumes – including demon horns and a Jason-Vorhees-inspired hockey mask – via the Splatoon 2 feed (also known as the Squid Research Lab Bulletin) in the Switch’s news channel.
According to Nintendo’s Japanese Twitter feed, the not-entirely-unexpected theme for this seasonal Splatfest will be Trick versus Treat. Participating squid can sign up to their side of choice starting this Friday, October 5th.
