In the end, Team Nessie and idol Shiver won theCryptid Splatfest. Players who participated in the Splatfest should make sure to collect their sea snail award, which can be used to make augmentations to player gear. Since Splatfests are no longer held monthly, the currency is especially difficult to come by. All players need to do to collect their rewards is to start up the game and watch the news. Their Splatfest shirt will be returned, and sea snails handed out based upon the player’s level of participation, with a bonus for those who are on the winning team this time around.
ThisSplatoon 3Splatfest was a bit special, as players who picked up the Side Order expansion DLC were able toreturn to Inkopolisduring the event. During the Splatfest, Callie and Marie of the Squid Sisters performed in the plaza to hype players up. It’s the first time players have had the opportunity to watch the Squid Sisters' Splatfest performance since the originalSplatoonon the Wii U. Since the console didn’t sell well, this was likely also the first time many players ever got to see it.
At the moment, no announcements have been made regarding when the next Splatfest or Big Run will be held. However, players have speculated that the timing may work out to have aZelda-themed Splatfest during its release month of May. For now, though, fans of the colorful shooter will have to wait and see.
