Get ready, Ink-and-Octolings, as the Splatfest World Premiere is just around the corner. In this article, we’ve got the file size, as well as the schedule for how things are going to go down on August 27th, 2022!
The Matchup
The choices for teams this Splatfest are Rock, Paper, or Scissors!
File Size
As this is a download-only experience, you may want to clear off some space on your Switch. The demo requires 2.5GB of free space. (This is considerably less than the full game’s currently listed file size of over 6GB, which could obviously change by release.)
Next up, the schedule (by region):
