Splatoon 3 has concluded its Weekend Splatfest with Team Friday emerging as the champion. Inklings and Octolings battled fiercely in Splatoon 3 over the weekend to claim victory.
Splatfests in Splatoon 3 are known for their intensity, not only due to differing opinions but also due to game mechanics. Some players argue that the three-team system introduces more imbalance compared to the two-team setup in previous games. The results have shown a clear dominance by Shiver from idol group Deep Cut, surpassing Frye and Big Man in wins.
With Team Friday clinching the victory this time, the winner's circle becomes more lopsided. Initially, Frye's team led in Conch Shells collected before the Splatfest began, but as with past events, early leads didn't guarantee success, ultimately leading to Shiver and Team Friday's triumph.

As the weekend Splatfest wraps up, excitement brews among Splatoon 3 players for the upcoming Side Order DLC, part of the game's expansion pass. The DLC's single-player campaign promises an exploration of a deserted Inkopolis and its tower. In a recent teaser, Agent 8 from Splatoon 2 is seen alongside Pearl of Off the Hook in drone form, while Marina's whereabouts remain a mystery, keeping fans intrigued.
The future of Splatoon 3 remains uncertain. The game was slated for two years of post-launch support upon its reveal, a milestone on the horizon. Whether support continues, or the team shifts focus to a new project like a possible Animal Crossing installment is unknown. Speculation about a Splatoon 4 on a rumored Nintendo Switch 2 persists, while current fans eagerly await the unfolding chapters in the existing game.
