Splatoon 3 has drawn the curtain on the chocolate Splatfest, and the results have now been revealed. Fans of dark, milk, and white chocolate battled it out over the weekend in Splatoon 3 to determine a favorite among them, and the winner boasts impressive numbers.
Splatfests have been held since the first Splatoon, allowing players to band together into teams to play turf war. The game has changed a bit over the years, with tri-color battles being the newest addition to the formula, but the ultimate goal has stayed the same; win as many battles for one's team as possible.
This latest Splatfest was held between Dark, Milk, and White Chocolate teams. Leading into the chocolate Splatfest, White Chocolate already had a head start, bringing home the most points in the Sneak Peek week leading up to the Splatfest. Team White Chocolate was also leading the pack at halftime. Dark and Milk Chocolate teams worked hard, but in the end, White Chocolate ended up sweeping the entire match, bringing home the lead in every single category with a whopping 57 points.
Team | Dark | Milk | White |
Sneak Peek (8p) | 33.18% | 31.66% | 35.16% |
Popularity (10p) | 24.47% | 33.31% | 42.22% |
Open (12p) | 32.14% | 31.23% | 36.63% |
Pro (12p) | 33.32% | 31.18% | 35.50% |
Tricolor (15p) | 33.15% | 32.91% | 33.94% |
This marks the second win for Deep Cut's Big Man, who also took home the Pokemon Splatfest representing Team Water. So far, Frye has only won one Splatfest, with Team Sweet winning over Spicy and Sour, while Shiver won the first two Splatfests.
At the moment, it's not known when the next Splatfest will be. The schedule has been a bit uneven since Splatoon 3's release, with Splatfests no longer following a monthly schedule. With the current catalog season ending at the end of February, it's possible that another Big Run may be announced, which could mean getting one every season. Thus far, Nintendo has refrained from holding a Big Run and a Splatfest in rapid succession with each other, so it may be a while until the next Splatfest is held.
So far, Nintendo has been maintaining a steady flow of content to fans, with new gear, emotes, and weapons. The latest Nintendo Direct also unveiled Splatoon 3's Expansion Pass, which will bring players back to Inkopolis from the original Splatoon, as well as adding a new story in its second wave. Splatoon 3 doesn't show any signs of slowing down, so players should have plenty to keep the experience fresh during its years of support.
Splatoon 3 is available now for Nintendo Switch.
