Splatoon's Final Splatfest Coming in July

Prepare for a Squid Sister Showdown.

By Jonathon Dornbush

The 16th and final Splatfest will come to Splatoon on July 22, Nintendo announced via the game's official blog.

Players will choose their allegiance to one of the two Squid Sisters, Callie and Marie, with the Splatfest running from 2 a.m. PT on July 22 through 2 a.m. PT on July 24. Voting for teams will begin on July 4 at 7 a.m. PT.

The final Splatfest will feature some region separation for matches — players in Japan will play with players in Japan, while North American and European players will be matched with each other. A Top 100 players list will be announced separately for the players in Japan and those in North America and Europe. Results will be announced at the same time for all regions.

Splatoon amiibo of Callie and Marie were announced earlier this year and are scheduled to release on July 8.

Splatoon has seen frequent updates since its release last year in addition to the frequently held Splatfests, which have been themed with various pop culture properties before, including SpongeBob Squarepants.
