Nintendo Switch owners are gearing up for this weekend’s Splatoon 2 demo, as the countdown to the global Splatfest begins.
Taking place on Saturday, July 15, the Splatoon 2 Splatfest has a 5pm start time in the UK. It runs until 9pm that same night.
Over in the US, the Splatoon 2 demo runs from 3-7pm PT, or 6-10pm ET.
In preparation for the free beta, fans can pre-load Splatoon 2 now from the Nintendo Switch eShop.
Once the demo is downloaded, players can choose to join Team Cake or Team Ice Cream, as Nintendo attempts to find out which is best.
The Splatoon 2 Splatfest will give gamers the chance to try a selection of Splatoon 2’s new weapons and stages.
