What is the Splatfest theme?
The official prompt is: “What would you be in a fantasy world: Wizard, Knight or Ninja?” Players choose one of three teams:
- Wizard
- Knight
- Ninja
The listing does not report a popularity poll or predict a winning team. The choices are theme teams, not gameplay roles with stated advantages.

How does a Splatoon 3 Splatfest work?
Players vote for a team, then battle to support that choice. Nintendo describes the first half as 4-v-4 Turf War. In the second half, Tricolor Turf War pits four players from the leading team against two players from each of the other teams. Results take votes, conch shells and individual Clout into account.
