Splatoon 2 is celebrating Hallowe'en soon with a spooky new Splatfest

Nintendo has announced that it's getting into the spirit of the spooky season with a special Hallowe'en-themed Splatfest event, coming to Splatoon 2 soon.

Catchily known as Splatoween, Nintendo's celebratory Splatfest will run from 3pm October 19th to 3pm October 21st, and sees the ever-fashionable Inkopolis Square on the receiving end of a major makeover. The city's bustling hub will be draped in ghoulish bunting, and given an extra flourish with an appropriately nauseating orange and slime green colour scheme.

The macabre merriment will also carry over into Splatoween's stage roster, with Splatoon 2's Moray Towers, Starfish Mainstage and Musselforge Fitness maps all appearing decked to the nines in the screenshots accompanying Nintendo's Splatfest announcement in Japan.
