A fresh season brings all-new reasons to dive back into the Splatoon 3 game for the Nintendo Switch family of systems! Starting today, all Splatoon 3 players with an active Nintendo Switch Online membership will have access to the new Fresh Season 2023 content. With new weapons, new and returning stages, as well as fun co-op Salmon Run activities including the next Big Run event, what are you waiting for? It’s time to get kraken!
That’s right, Big Run is back! The whale-sized version of the co-op Salmon Run game mode is taking over a new stage, Inkblot Art Academy, and introducing a new King Salmonid, the Horrorboros! Sign up for duty from Friday, March 3, at 4 p.m. PT to Sunday, March 5, at 4 p.m. PT and you may win a special decoration for your locker.
But that’s not the only fun twist on Salmon Run that’s coming. Starting with Fresh Season 2023, players can head to Grizzco and sign up for Eggstra Work, a new limited-time competitive event being added to Salmon Run! Team up for this friends-only match and compete across five waves to see who can earn the top score.
Fresh Season 2023 also adds the ability to duel in Tableturf Battle online with friends! Head to the upper level of the lobby or the Shoal to play. To celebrate, 23 new card types are also being added to Tableturf Battle.
Other fresh new content includes the new stage Um’ami Ruins, a famous tourist spot that features ancient squid paintings! It will be added into the stage rotation along with returning favorite Manta Maria. There’s also a slew of weapon sets to take advantage of like the special weapon Kraken Royale and the brand-new special, Super Chump. And of course, Fresh Season 2023 means fresh fashions and items in all your favorite shops … both in Splatsville and – for Inklings and Octolings who’ve purchased the Splatoon 3 Expansion Pack – in the now available Inkopolis hub!
