After 2 INK-credible years of Splatoon 3, regular updates will come to a close. Don’t worry! Splatoween, Frosty Fest, Spring Fest, and Summer Nights will continue with some returning themes!
Updates for weapon adjustments will be released as needed.
Big Run, Eggstra Work, and Monthly Challenges will continue for the time being.
Also they just released a video celebrating each splat-fest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cd3qYJRnI7E
The second game was around for well over two years.
Needing to buy an online subscription is a far better complaint than a misinformed timeline.
