Splatoon 3 Shares New Song With All the Idols for Grand Festival Splatfest

Key Takeaways

  • Splatoon 3’s Grand Festival Splatfest features all idol groups in a song collaboration, shaping series future.
  • Three idol groups sing “Three Wishes” reflecting Past, Present, Future themes, with a potential game impact.
  • Fans await the Splatfest outcome, reminiscing about past games and anticipating what lies ahead in Splatoon 4.

As a seasoned Splatoon gamer with countless hours spent ink-splattering my way through turf wars and story modes, I must say that the Grand Festival Splatfest in Splatoon 3 has truly piqued my interest. The collaboration between the idol groups, Now or Never Seven, is an exciting development that harkens back to the series’ roots while also hinting at what lies ahead.


In the latest development for Splatoon 3, a fresh tune has been unveiled for the upcoming Grand Festival Splatfest. This song brings together all the idols who have graced the game’s news and story segments since its inception, including the Squid Sisters, Off the Hook, and the musical group from Splatoon 3 known as Deep Cut. They have banded together under the name Now or Never Seven for this special occasion.

Enthusiasts can’t wait for the debut of the Grand Festival in Splatoon 3, an event that will be orchestrated by all the idols for the first time. If history repeats itself, based on the final events of the previous games, the Splatfest’s result and victorious team could significantly influence the course of the series in the future.

Before the Grand Festival, Splatoon 3 has unveiled a fresh idol tune titled Three Wishes. Similar to some recent Splatoon 3 songs, this one includes lyrical translations, as the three idol groups sing about the topics their teams embody: Past, Present, and Future. The Squid Sisters initiate the song by reminiscing about their past and how they’ve paved the way for the other two idol groups. Off the Hook express their bond and seizing each day, while Deep Cut emphasize the connection between them and their efforts to mold the future.

Now or Never Seven’s Song Finally Revealed

It’s reasonable to assume that the song featured in the Nintendo game will play during the final day of the event, specifically in the lobby where all three idol groups are scheduled to perform live on stage together. The recent trailer offers a sneak peek into what this performance might look like, showcasing the groups in their latest outfits and performing both individually and collectively amidst an enthusiastic audience.

This song team-up was teased in a recent “interview” with the Splatoon idols published by Nintendo, which had the groups deciding to form a collab under the name Now or Never Seven. The name was chosen since all three groups have had their own variations of the Now or Never song that plays during the last moments of turf war battles. The combination is pretty exciting, not only for putting their musical styles together, but for long-time fans of the series who are happy to see the Squid Sisters and Off the Hook get some time in the limelight again.

This Splatfest carries significant weight, and we’d love for you to take part! The outcomes of Past, Present, and Future could shape the direction of the series. Marie’s victory in the final Splatfest of the original Splatoon game set her up as the main character in the Story Mode of Splatoon 2, while Chaos winning in Splatoon 2 resulted in the creation of Splatsville and the Side Order DLC. As we anticipate the release of rumored Splatoon 4, let’s see what unfolds!
