Next Splatoon 3 Splatfest Debuts Later Today

Pokémon Go is expanding its catchable line-up with its first batch of additions from last year's Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, starting next week.

The first published game by Prince of Persia creator Jordan Mechner has been given the star treatment in an interactive documentary that includes the original Karateka, its early prototypes, a full remaster with dev commentary and a brand new game.

Splatoon 3 fans have been having a blast recently as they’ve been getting plenty of content to play and hearing about new content they’ll get to enjoy soon enough. Not too long ago, we had the “Love/Money/Fame” Splatfest that ended in a shocking win for Money, which many fans protested in jest. But then, right after that, Nintendo revealed the game’s next “season” and the Splatfest that would drop in early September. This was a first, as far as we can tell, as they usually like to space out the announcements of the Splatfests, but not this time!

Splatoon got what will almost definitely be its final game on the Nintendo Switch last year via Splatoon 3. The latest installment in the series got a couple of amiibo figures to mark the occasion, but Nintendo announced recently that there are more to come. The only trouble is even though it showed us all three of the new Splatoon amiibos it has in the offing, Nintendo didn't give us a way to buy them. Like popping them in the window of a store that doesn't have an opening time.

Today, Samsung announced a partnership with NEXON to make The First Descendant the first title compatible with the HDR10+ GAMING standard starting with the Open Beta scheduled for September 19th. Seokwoo Jason Yong, Executive Vice President of the Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics, said in a statement:

We’re now mere days away from the release of Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon on both the PS5 and PS4, but publisher Bandai Namco still has important information to share. Another showcase will air across YouTube and Twitch later today, 18th August, promising updates on lore, mission gameplay, and more. We’ve embedded the YouTube Premiere above, but it won’t go live until 16:00 PDT.

The Splatoon 3 Side Order DLC is probably the biggest unknown in the Splatoon world right now. Since its announcement almost a year ago now, we’ve had no official updates on what’s going on with the DLC or hints at any kind of story direction. However, we do have a few threads to pull that may just give us some answers as to what to expect. In this article, we’ll piece together what we know about the Side Order DLC:

FromSoftware has scheduled a special livestream showcase for Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon.

Splashback real quick to 2015 when Splatoon launched on the Wii U which quickly became a brand new hit for Nintendo. A sequel released years later on the Switch delivering exciting new content. Now, we are already on the third installation of the series. Splatoon 3 debuted in September of last year and because an anniversary is approaching soon, Nintendo revealed what’s in store for the celebration.

At this point, if you’re not enjoying Splatoon 3, you’re missing out on quite a bit. The game has been incredibly popular since it dropped last year, and it’s about to celebrate its 1st anniversary in the biggest ways possible! Today, the team at Squid Research Labs dropped several announcements outlining what’s to come in the “Drizzle Season” that’ll start on September 1st. The game came out on September 9th last year, so it’s a nice way to honor their release month. As you would expect based on the last two “seasons” of the game, there’s plenty to check out and enjoy.

Crimson Desert was announced nearly three years ago at this point, and though it turned a few heads at the time with its promise of a sweeping, single player action RPG experience, the fact that there have been little to no updates on the game in the time since then has raised a few eyebrows. It turns out, however, that Pearl Abyss is finally ready to showcase the game once again.

For the most part, I don’t have a dog in the hut when it comes to Splatoon 3 Splatfests. I mean sure, sometimes it might be important for Ganondorf to beat out Link and Zelda (he has real edgy Venom/Shadow energy that should be celebrated) when I have nothing better to do that week. But the results for this particular Splatfest are too spicy not to share.
