Splatoon 3's Second Big Run Event Is Coming Next Month

Ah yes, my favourite Dreamworks movie: How to Train Your Salmonid


I adore how this slinky dude looks and I can't wait for Big Run to come back as well (had a feeling they'd hold one at the start of every new season!). Intrigued as to how they're going to make Inkblot of all maps work in Salmon Run but Wahoo was a ton of fun so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt!

This is where the fun begins.

Called it, although I thought the map was more likely to be Hagglefish Market, but Inkblot might be fine. Horrorboros looks great and genuinely intimidating. Cohozuna’s just a giant Cohock while this monster is pretty much an Asian dragon. I think it was teased in a certain sticker reward of an ouroboros.

Now, it’d be nice to get more and better rewards than just a model, but I’m unfortunately not counting on it. Still, Splatoon 3 will definitely keep me busy the beginning of March!

@Fizza so we gotta take down an alpha without toothless, no problem.

Wait, how would Inkblot even be fun as a big run spot? Wahoo World worked better because there was so much room to operate a large scale big run, and I appreciated the added difficulty. That stage is huge, with very few linear pathways like Flounder Heights and Inkblot. It was far easier to get separated from your team, and have to fight back to reunite with them. As for Inkblot, I just don’t know if it will be that fun, unless they modify the stage. Sounds like the water from both sides of the stage will be potential salmon spawn points here. I will be attending, the last big run was definitely a nice change of pacing.

Nintendo has been doing a good job of keeping things “fresh” thus far with Splatoon 3. The new King Salmon Run looks pretty cool, should be another fun Salmon. I’m still a bit confused on what the point is to Wave 1 but Side Dish does look interesting. March should be fun start to the new season, hard to believe it’s been 3 months already since the last season update. I don’t think Nintendo was playing around about their strategy to continue to support its evergreen titles to close out Switch. That Switch 2 won’t be out until 2025 folks 😝

Oh hellz yeah!

I’m curious as to how well Inkblot as a stage will work (Wahoo World was so fun to navigate in Salmon Run), but nonetheless I’m hyped for more BIG RUN BABY WOOOO

OOOOH-RA-BORE-OSE!

Will Horrorboros start appearing in Big Run or will he actually start appearing in regular Salmon Run with the new season? That image is at the Hydro Plant. I guess maybe we’ll get some practice before Big Run but I thought maybe it’d be more special if he debuted during it. Still, can’t believe there be dragons in Salmon Run now…

Since the Cohozuna is a Cohock. What is the Horroboros a King Salmonid version of? A Flipper-Flopper? A Snatcher?
