The next event is the Chicken vs. the Egg on August 21
Splatoon 2has a few more hotly-contested questions for us to field throughout 2020.
Aside from sharinga piece of artfor the game’s third anniversary, Nintendo announced the next Splatfest revival event – the ancient “chicken or the egg” prompt – will return on August 21 at 3:00 p.m. Pacific, and a pair of “bonus” Splatfests will pop up inSplatoon 2“before the end of March 2021.”

I love it when Nintendo gets needlessly specific with minor dates. Take your suspensesomewhere else!
We’re getting into the anniversary spirit & taking another crack at a classic#Splatfestquestion! It’s your second chance to answer the conundrum of which came first, the Chicken or the Egg?

The company originally asked the semantics-driven which-came-first question in March 2018. Back then,Splatoon 2players decided – through the time-honored tradition of ink warfare – that thechicken came before the egg. I’m spiraling into an existential crisis after reading all of your old comments.
After the way theMayo vs. Ketchup re-run went down, we could see another upset in August.
