Splatoon 3 Unveils New Salmon Run Mode 'Eggstra Work'

gamerant.com:

With Splatoon 3's Fresh Season just around the corner, the game has now announced a brand new Salmon Run mode being added to the game. The new Splatoon 3 mode will provide players with a challenge that they can tackle with friends, and it comes with the promise of new rewards, as well.

Splatoon 3 has already done quite a bit to expand Salmon Run from how Splatoon 2 handled it. In addition to acquiescing the common demand of fans wanting Salmon Run to be available 24/7, Splatoon 3 also added Big Run, a seasonal event that tasks players with defending turf war maps from a Salmonid invasion.

Splatoon 3 has already unveiled a new Big Run event that's on the verge of the release, but that's not all that's coming to the PVE mode. Splatoon 3 has also announced a new mode called Eggstra Work. Unlike standard Salmon Run, which pits players against three waves (and a possible fourth emergency wave), Eggstra Work is designed around a pre-set scenario with five waves to play in. Similar to Big Run, Eggstra Work will keep track of how many golden eggs players collect, and will show how they measured up after the completion of the event.

Also similar to Big Run, players who participate in this mode will automatically earn a free sticker. Players who pass certain milestones will receive improved stickers in bronze, silver, and gold colors, similar to the Big Run King Salmonid replicas awarded at the end of the event. The devs have yet to reveal when the first Eggstra Wave will be held, but with a new Big Run event and boss Salmonid revealed, players shouldn't expect the new mode to arrive immediately after Fresh Season begins.
