Poll: Splatoon 3’s Raiders-Themed Splatfest Has Crowned Its Champion
Splatoon 3’s Raiders-themed Splatfest has concluded, with a champion crowned following the Nintendo-hosted competitive event. The Splatfest was officially announced during Nintendo’s June 2026 Direct presentation, though the announcement was somewhat overshadowed by major reveals in other franchises like The Legend of Zelda and Xenoblade. The event capitalized on the Raiders theme with competitive gameplay, as evidenced by the opening quote—“It’s about drive, it’s about power”—which frames the competitive spirit of the Splatfest. Splatfests are recurring limited-time events in Splatoon 3 where players compete in ink-based battles divided into two competing teams, with results determining an overall victor. This particular event represents another entry in the game’s ongoing live-service calendar, keeping the community engaged with themed competitive tournaments.
