Splatoon 3 Raiders Splatfest to award Splashtags, titles

Nintendo announced a Raiders-themed Splatfest for Splatoon 3 that will run July 10-12 on Nintendo Switch. The event will offer new Splashtags and two in-game titles to participants.

The company revealed the event during a Nintendo Direct presentation and posted additional details today. The Splatfest asks players to choose one of three fighting styles: Speed, Power or Tactics.

Nintendo will distribute the new Splashtags and the two titles through a Splatoon 3 news article on players’ Nintendo Switch systems before the Splatfest begins. The in-game news article will add the items directly to players’ accounts so they can claim the rewards ahead of the competition.

The announcement did not specify how many Splashtags will be available or the exact criteria for receiving the two titles beyond the in-game distribution. No further eligibility details were provided.

Players who want the new Splashtags and titles should check the Splatoon 3 news section on their Switch prior to July 10 to ensure they receive the items. The update indicates the content will be delivered before the event start date.

Splatfests are recurring community events in Splatoon 3 that pair themed contests with time-limited cosmetic and title rewards. The Raiders-themed event continues that pattern by tying new in-game items to a short, scheduled competition.
