Splatoon 3 datamine may point to new Salmon Run modes / events
Splatoon 3 dataminers have been picking apart the game, and seem to have made some interesting discoveries regarding Salmon Run.
Twitter user OatmealDome says that “Pair”, “Underground”, and “Contest” have been spotted. In fact, Pair and Underground will apparently have their own pay grades and titles. Underground is said to have higher quotas (per wave: +3 / +5 / +7) than normal. OatmealDome does also note that what was found here could also be occasional events like Big Run.
What is Big Run, you ask? Nintendo describes it as “a once-in-a-while Salmon Run phenomenon in which Salmonids invade Splatsville”. Details beyond that have not yet been shared.
Splatoon 3 just launched on Switch this month. Nintendo has confirmed that it will support the game with post-launch updates. A free in-game season catalog will be distributed every three months for two years. On top of that, additional weapons will be added around the same time as each in-game catalog.
X Battle and League Battle are planned for future updates as well. X Battle can be unlocked after attaining an extremely high rank in Anarchy Battle. In League Battle, players can compete every two hours in teams based on their Anarchy Battle results.
Finally, large-scale paid DLC is in the works for Splatoon 3, and further information will be shared later on.
