Splatoon 3 Won’t Get Any New Events or Content Updates

Now that the Grand Festival Splatfest pitching Past, Present, and Future recently came to an end in September 2024 in Splatoon 3, Nintendo revealed that the game will stop receiving new events and regular content updates. Existing events will repeat.

While new regular Splatfest events and content updates are over, Nintendo reassured players that the seasonal Special Splatfests Splatoween, Frosty Fest, Spring Fest, and Summer Nights events will continue and will bring back returning themes. Previous events in the game modes Big Run, Eggstra Work, and Monthly Challenges will also continue appearing for the time being. However, Nintendo also announced that these 3 modes might cease to reappear in the future without prior notice.

In addition, Nintendo released a four-minute-long video revisiting all the past Splatfest events in Splatoon 3. The video features idol trio Deep Cut performing on the Grand Festival stage while the results and dates of each Splatfest appear on screen next to official themed artwork of the band members.

Furthermore, the Splatoon X (formerly Twitter) official account showed that players that own any of the Squid Sisters, Off the Hook, or Deep Cut Amiibos can use them to revisit the Grand Festival venue. The next and final Splatoon 3 update will allow players to use this function without the need to be online. The Grand Festival revisit function allows players to skip to different parts of the festival from the Train Station main menu.

Splatoon 3 is readily available on the Nintendo Switch.
