The popular shooter game series is famous for its weekend Splatfest competitions, where players are grouped based on their answers to unique queries. This time, Splatoon 3 will split its community with the question: 'What would you do at the end of the world?'

Despite its launch in 2022, Nintendo has been consistently updating one of its leading multiplayer games. The recent release of the Side Order DLC, part of Splatoon 3's expansion pass, has kept players engaged. Additionally, the developers have been busy rolling out updates and organizing monthly Splatfest events to keep the game fresh.

Splatoon 3 shared on social media that the upcoming Splatfest will kick off at 5 pm PT on Friday, May 17, and will continue until 5 pm PT on Sunday, May 19. This month's theme, 'What would you do at the end of the world?' will categorize players based on their responses into three teams: 'same ol',' 'bucket list,' or 'save the day.'

Fans are already engaging with the darker theme of this Splatfest, which contrasts with the previous lighter-hearted themes like the March 2023 Splatfest centered around musical instruments.

The introduction of the Side Order DLC for Splatoon 3 has been a standout event in an otherwise relatively quiet year for Nintendo. While fans eagerly anticipate news of the next Nintendo Switch, recent rumors have been circulating. Notably, there are talks of improved battery life for the rumored Switch 2, potentially at the cost of reduced handheld performance. Speculations also suggest backward compatibility with existing Switch games in the upcoming console. However, until Nintendo officially confirms these details, they should be viewed as mere rumors.
