Nintendo details Splatoon 2's last-ever Splatfest, coming in July

Splatocalypse, as the event will be known, has been scheduled to coincide with Splatoon 2's two-year anniversary; as such, interested parties will be hoisting nozzles and letting rip from Thursday, 18th July. Proceedings begin at 1pm in the UK, and continue until 1pm on Sunday, 21st July. So it's a long 'un.

As this is goodbye, Nintendo will be introducing a new Shifty Station stage, as well as wheeling out all 23 special nighttime version of existing stages introduced as part of previous Splatfests. These will be on rotation throughout the weekend.
