Splatoon 3 Big Run Event Sets Record-Breaking 700 Million Golden Egg Quota on Nintendo Switch

Nintendo Sets Unprecedented 700 Million Golden Egg Quota for Splatoon 3 Big Run Event on Nintendo Switch Nintendo has officially raised the stakes for Splatoon 3 with the announcement of a record-breaking Big Run event, setting an all-time high quota of 700 million Golden Eggs.

This ambitious target will see players from across the globe collaborating in the popular Salmon Run co-op mode, striving to reach a milestone that reflects Splatoon’s ever-growing, engaged community on the Nintendo Switch platform. The upcoming Big Run, slated to take place from September 6th to 8th, 2024, comes hot on the heels of the game’s recently introduced 'Grand Splatlands Bowl' stage.

As revealed by the official Japanese Splatoon account (@SplatoonJP), the event challenges the worldwide Splatoon 3 player base to collectively gather 700 million Golden Eggs within the event period—a significant jump from previous quotas. To assist participants in achieving this formidable goal, Grizzco, the in-game corporation central to Salmon Run, is deploying special egg launchers throughout the 'Grand Splatlands Bowl'.

These temporary features will allow teams to rapidly deposit collected Golden Eggs into the baskets, maximizing efficiency during the heightened pace of Big Run.

This marks another example of Nintendo’s commitment to engaging content updates, keeping Splatoon 3 fresh for its dedicated player base since its original release on Nintendo Switch in September 2022. In a translated statement, Nintendo emphasized the global, community-driven nature of the event, inviting every player to contribute: "Every Golden Egg collected during this period will count toward the worldwide total.

Should the quota be reached, all participating employees will receive Fish Scales as a reward." The timing of this Big Run is particularly significant, as it precedes Splatoon 3’s highly anticipated 'Grand Festival Splatfest' event, scheduled for September 12th to 15th, 2024.

Promoted as "the biggest Splatfest ever," this follow-up promises to extend the excitement with new teams, themes, and exclusive in-game rewards. Splatoon 3 continues to be a standout for Nintendo Switch, regularly topping the eShop charts and delivering new content that resonates with its core fanbase.

Developer Nintendo EPD has cultivated a robust seasonal update model, providing ongoing value and maintaining a vibrant online community worldwide. Players looking to take part in the Big Run Golden Egg challenge can prepare via the Nintendo eShop, ensuring their game is up-to-date before the global effort kicks off.

As the September events approach, the Splatoon community is set to unite once again in pursuit of one of its most ambitious goals yet.
