The air in Splatsville is getting chilly, which can only mean one thing: Frosty Fest is officially returning to Splatoon 3! Despite Nintendo moving away from regular major content updates, the community's passion has kept these seasonal events alive and more vibrant than ever.
Who do you spend the holidays with?
This year's Splatfest question is a classic: "Who do you spend the holidays with?" Players will have the choice between Team Friends, Team Family, and Team Solo. Inkopolis Square and Splatsville have already been decked out in festive decorations, with the idols sporting some truly incredible winter-themed gear.
Switch 2 Enhancements
For players who have transitioned to the Nintendo Switch 2, this year's Frosty Fest features improved lighting and shadow effects during the nighttime Splatfest concerts. The 'ink-shimmer' effect on the snow-covered ground is a particular highlight, showcasing the subtle but effective graphical boost of the new hardware.
