Earlier today, Nintendo announced the “Grand Festival” Splatfest to commemorate the 2nd anniversary of Splatoon 3. A remix of Calamari Inkantation played all throughout the trailer.
The official description of the video claims this is the biggest Splatfest in history. The festival's theme is Past vs. Present vs. Future. Callie and Marie represent the Past, Pearl and Marina represent the Present, and Deep Cut represents the Future. The festival will run from September 12th, 2024 to September 15th, 2024.
In addition, new amiibo of the Squid Sisters and Off the Hook were announced. Callie and Marie use the Alterna designs, while Pearl and Marina use their Side Order designs. These amiibo allow the player to take pictures with them and get unique gear. They will be releasing on September 5th, 2024.
New Squid Sisters and Off the Hook #amiibo are coming September 5th! Tap these amiibo in-game to snap photos and get special gear.

Author’s Note: I know it wasn’t explicitly stated, but this just screams “last Splatfest of Splatoon 3” to me. What are your opinions on this and the new amiibo? As always, let us know in the comments below!
