Nintendo has formally revoked the Splatoon 3 World Championship 2024 winning team’s title after racist messages sent by several of its members surfaced online.
This year’s Splatoon 3 World Championship was held in April, with six teams competing for the crown. North American team Jackpot was eventually named the winner, but the four-person group became embroiled in controversy this June, after Discord and social media chats showing some of its members engaging in racist behaviour began circulating on social media.
And now, roughly six weeks later, Nintendo has officially rescinded Jackpot’s winning title, albeit without explicitly specifying the reason behind its decision.
