The series has been a major success story for Nintendo.

I hope that this Splatfest shows people how many people still care a LOT about Splatoon.
This fest is a catalyst that can bring people, new and old, into the game - this is a chance for us to build our community further 🙂

Some fans think Nintendo is gearing up for Splatoon 3.

I feel like the splatfest *has* to be part of the early marketing plan for Splatoon 3 (like that New Year's post), sorta like how some franchises will release a remaster before a sequel announcement

Every time I think I'm out...

Splatoon 2 is BACK BABY! I have played this game a TOOOON, but haven't touched it since the final Splatfest. This is just the ticket to pull me back in, lol. https://t.co/oSGBbzR6QQ

Feels like a lot of players might come back for this!

Me: I haven't played splatoon in a while, but do I really want to? 🤔
Nintendo: hey everybody! It's been a while, so here's an extra splatfest!
Me:... I do now.— Cheese is good for the heart (@Cheesey_Stevie) April 22, 2020
It's great timing, really.

okay so we got Mario Maker 2 update, New Horizons update, Mana spirits in Smash Bros and Splatoon 2 is getting a demo + splatfest coming back. What's next, a Mario Kart update?
