Ice cream-themed Splatfest in Splatoon 3 is won by Team Vanilla

Update: After a jam-packed weekend of action in the newest Splatfest for Splatoon 3, Team Vanilla has defeated Strawberry and Mint Chip.

Although the winning team claimed this one by a comfortable margin with 45p compared to Mint Chip’s 12p and Strawberry’s 0 — a tough break, Strawberry lovers — it wasn’t quite the clean sweep that we witnessed in the previous Zelda-themed Splatfest.

The #Splatoon3 Splatfest results are in, and with 45p the winner is Team Vanilla!

Congratulations to Team Vanilla, and remember—we're ALL winners when it comes to Super Sea Snails. Don't forget to pick yours up! pic.twitter.com/uDdVkNlHvQ
