Aptly taking place on World Rock Paper Scissors Day, you&#8217;ll be able to try out the new Splatfests, including the brand new Tri-Color Turf War, in online matches throughout the day.<\/p>\n<p>The Splatfest is split into two halves &#8211; the first six hours will be dedicated to the Splatfest Battles, where it&#8217;s 1-v-1 paint-splattering battles all the way. Then, for the second six hours, you&#8217;ll be getting into some 4-v-2-v-2 battles with a messy triple-team battle. To join in the Splatfest, you&#8217;ll need to download the Splatfest World Premiere demo and swear allegiance to one of the three teams (let us know what you&#8217;re going for in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/news\/2022\/08\/poll-splatoon-3s-first-splatfest-takes-place-this-weekend-which-team-are-you-on\">our poll<\/a>!).<\/p>\n<p>Once you boot up the demo, you might notice that you&#8217;re given a code on the screen (or are emailed one). This code gives you a seven-day free Nintendo Switch Online trial (if you&#8217;re not already subscribed to the service), so make sure if you redeem it so you can get in on the mess!<\/p>\n<p>As a reminder, here are the times when the Splatfest starts in your region:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Europe:<\/strong> August 27th (9am BST \/ 10am CEST to 9pm BST \/ 10pm CEST) &#8211; first half starts at 9am\/10am, the second half starts at 3pm\/4pm<\/li>\n<li><strong>North America:<\/strong> August 27th (9am PDT \/ 12pm EDT to 9pm PDT) August 28th (12am EDT) &#8211; first half starts at 9am\/12pm, the second half starts at 3pm\/6pm<\/li>\n<li><strong>Japan:<\/strong> August 28th (9am to 9pm JST) &#8211; first half starts at 9am, and the second half starts at 3pm<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Good luck!
