Is the final Splatfest in Splatoon 3 nearing?
Splatoon 3 will be two years old this September when it released for the Nintendo Switch and some might think it seems too early for a new Splatoon title. There are even more hints that the end of Splatoon 3’s life is near as data miners found a new Splatfest that goes by the codename ‘Sand’. It also suggests the three idol groups will perform simultaneously in one Plaza instead of being in three different hubs.

During the special Splatfest codenamed Sand, all three idol groups might perform simultaneously in one Plaza.
They seem to rotate between "small", "middle" and "large" positions based on a schedule.

There is a lot of speculation especially on Reddit that this coming Splatfest will be the last one for Splatoon 3 further suggesting a Splatoon 4 is on the horizon with a new console coming in the next year.
