Nintendo announced a Splatoon 3 Grand Festival Splatfest will be held starting September 2024, and it will be accompanied by amiibo of Callie, Marie, Pearl, and Marina and other merchandise. The amiibo will appear on September 5, 2024 first, before the Splatfest starts on September 12, 2024. The new shirts and accessories have a tentative September 2024 launch window.
With the Splatoon 3 Grand Festival Splatfest, it will be the first to involve all three music groups from the series. This time, Nintendo asks if the past, present, or future is most important. As usual, the one you choose is your team. The Squid Sisters Callie and Marie, the Off the Hook duo Pearl and Marina, and the Deep Cut trio Shiver, Frye, and Big Man will all appear. It will also be a three day event, which starts at 5pm PT/8pm ET on September 12, 2024, then ends on 5pm PT/8pm ET on September 15, 2024.
Here’s the trailer for the event:
As for the new Splatoon 3 amiibo, they will arrive in packs that pair up either Callie and Marie or Pearl and Marina. Prices weren’t noted yet. However, as a reminder, the previous Pearl and Marina two-pack cost $24.99.
Here’s how those will look.
As for the merchandise, they will be Grand Festival shirts based on the ones in-game and a wristband bracelet. Images of all four items appeared. However, prices and a launch date weren’t shared ahead of their Nintendo Store debut.
Splatoon 3 is available for the Nintendo Switch, the new amiibo launch on September 5, 2024, and the Grand Festival Splatfest runs September 12-15, 2024.
