Nintendo has announced the newest Splatfest coming to Splatoon 3, and it’s a doozy. The next Splatfest theme will decide which chocolate everyone prefers between dark, milk, or white varieties. The chocolate Splatfest will begin on Friday, February 10, at 4 PM PT and will last until Sunday, February 12, at 4 PM PT. Players can choose a side early during Splatoon’s Sneak Peek on February 3. During the Sneak Peek, players can earn conch shells to use in the Shell-Out Machine, which will help their side win.

These Splatfest debates can often get intense as players usually have strong opinions on their favorites. We imagine the chocolate Splatfest may end up being one of the most divisive because everyone is passionate about chocolate. Will Splatoon players pick the smooth, creamy richness of milk chocolate, or will they instead choose the chalky and bitter taste of dark chocolate? Or will white chocolate prevail with its buttery and sweet flavor? Our internal poll has a slight lean toward dark, but, as expected when chocolate is involved, it’s very close.

Splatfests are fun limited-time events where players can represent a champion of one of three causes and participate in Splatfest Battles. If players want their preferred chocolate to win in the upcoming Splatfest, their team must win the most matches during the Splatfest’s time frame. The previous Splatfest themes were spicy vs. sweet vs. sour, which ended with sweet taking the top prize, potentially leading us toward this latest poll. Another Splatfest was between the three Pokémon starter types, grass, fire, and water. Team water-type end up winning that Splatfest.

Splatoon 3 is a wacky, third-person shooter developed and released by Nintendo. It’s one of Nintendo’s newer franchises, having become a hit within the online community, with many enjoying online events like the Splatfest and the Big Run. Nintendo recently released a patch that buffed several weapons, including the Nautilus 47 and fixed several out-of-bounds glitches.
