Nogami said that Splatfest will be followed by a 5.0 update for the game that will let players set up private Splatfests of their own.

He made the announcement after the end of the game’s world finals, which was won by the Japanese team GG Boyz.

Nogami also said this update would mark the end of new content for the game, but not the end of online support. Presumably, Nintendo will move on from this game to make something new in the franchise. Bring on Splatoon 3? Or Splatoon Kart? Splatoon: Other S?

The final Splatfest will also add new gear to the game.
