[Update: Nintendo has released a video thanking the fans for the support, filled will some of the cool fan art contributions to The Splatocalypse. You can check it out at the foot of the article.]
And that, as they say, is that. After two years of messy online warfare, Nintendo’s Switch shooter Splatoon 2 held its final splatfest this weekend, in which the global community took to the arena for an unprecedented 72-hours, determined to paint the town red (and green and pink etc) for one last hurrah.
In an event dubbed The Splatocalypse, players choose their final teams, standing with Off the Hook’s Pearl and Marina in the ultimate battle of Team Chaos vs. Team Order. The scores are in, and the day belongs to the Queen of the World, with Pearl’s Team Chaos scoring a huge 3 – 0 victory over Marina’s Team Order. Chaos reigns supreme!
But never fear, fans. Although it’s early days, it doesn’t seem that the event has quite leveled the Splatoon universe as some feared, nor has it harmed the special relationship between our wonderful hosts. In fact, after teasing a break-up of the band, a tearful Marina was consoled by Pearl, who told the octo-gal “Just playing Marina, you know I love you.”
