Although last year's Splatocalypse event marked the end of regular Splatfests in Splatoon 2, Nintendo is holding another bonus event in the game this month. The bonus Splatfest kicks off next Friday, August 21, and much like May's one-off event, it's a repeat of a previous theme.

This month's event gives players another chance to settle the age-old question: which came first, the chicken or the egg? You can choose a side from the terminal in Inkopolis Square and earn points for your team by taking part in Turf War matches during the event period. Team Chicken emerged victorious when this Splatfest was originally held back in March 2018, but players have a chance to rewrite history.

This month's Splatfest runs until 3 PM PT / 6 PM ET on August 23. Everyone who participates in the event will earn Super Sea Snails, which can be used to add a new ability slot to a piece of gear or re-roll one that has already been maxed out. At least two more bonus Splatfests will be held before the end of March 2021, Nintendo has confirmed, although no other details about those events have been announced just yet.
