Monster mash

Nintendo just dropped the bomb that the next Splatfest for Splatoon 3 is coming up real soon, folks. That’s right, Splatoween is making a comeback next month, and we’ve got some monster-based teams to choose from. It’s a tough decision between Team Zombie, Skeleton, and Ghost as we ponder, “Which one would be the ultimate bestie?”

Mark your calendars for October 25th-26th, depending on where you’re at in the world. The voting booths will pop up in Splatsville Square about a week before the event kicks off, so keep those peepers peeled for updates.

Get ready for the Splatoween 2025 Splatfest kickoff times in your region:

• North America: 7pm (Fri) PDT / 8pm (Fri) MDT / 9pm (Fri) CDT / 10pm (Fri) EDT
• UK/Ire: 3am BST
• Europe: 4am CEST / 5am EEST
• Asia/Oceania: 11am JST / 10am AWST / 1pm AEDT

In case you forgot, Team Ghost snagged the win in the 2023 showdown. So, which team will you be rooting for this time around? Drop your vote in the poll and then spill the beans in the comments about your decision-making process. It’s all in good fun, right?

Jim joined the Nintendo Life crew back in 2022, and he’s been holding it down with news and features ever since. Despite his quirky taste in games (The Minish Cap FTW) and his undying love for those Star Wars prequels (yep, you read that right), he’s a solid addition to the team.

So, gear up for Splatoween and get ready to pick your monster squad. It’s gonna be a spooktacular showdown, and no matter who comes out on top, it’s all about having a blast with your fellow Inklings. Let the games begin!
