Splatoon 3 Big Run Event Now Available on Nintendo Switch

Written by Brandon Hofer on December 09, 2022

News: A Salmonid infestation is taking place this weekend in Splatoon 3 and will earn you some in-game rewards.

Nintendo has revealed that the invasion has arrived, and it’s all tentacles on deck to protect Splatsville from a Salmonid infestation. Starting today at 4 p.m. PT and running through 4 p.m. PT on Sunday, December 11, the special Big Run event for Splatoon 3 brings one of the biggest co-op events in Splatoon series history.

Splatoon 3 may be known for its fast-paced 4-v-4 Turf War battles, but in this new twist on the co-op Salmon Run mode, players will need to set aside their differences and team up in workforces of four to stop wave after wave of Salmonids from overrunning the city. Unlike regular Salmon Run matches, which take place on special stages, this inaugural Big Run event will see the Salmonid swarms overtaking a huge stage normally seen in competitive modes – the amusement park-themed Wahoo World.

Everyone who slaps on a Grizzco jumpsuit and participates in Big Run will receive a special in-game decoration for their locker. Plus, the number of Catalog Points and Bonus Rewards you can receive will also increase. Grizzco will also be tallying your points throughout Big Run, and the strongest performers will receive rewards that reflect their ranking. Once the event ends, the final Big Run results will be announced.

The new “Chill Season 2022” has also just started, bringing with it additional weapons, stages, and gear. New seasonal catalog debuts every three months, so make sure the new catalog rewards don’t slip through your nets.
