Fans of Splatoon 3’s ever-popular Salmon Run mode on Nintendo Switch received major news this week, as Nintendo confirmed the conclusion of new content updates for one of the game’s key cooperative events.
According to an official statement from the Splatoon Twitter account, the upcoming Eggstra Work event will be the last to introduce fresh job scenarios, marking a significant milestone after nearly four years of continuous updates since the game’s launch. Background: Splatoon 3 and Salmon Run’s Evolution Developed and published by Nintendo, Splatoon 3 joined the Nintendo Switch lineup with its global release in September 2022, quickly earning acclaim for its dynamic multiplayer action and extensive post-launch support.
Salmon Run, the cooperative horde mode first introduced in Splatoon 2, became a staple feature, challenging teams to survive waves of enemies and collect golden eggs.
The Eggstra Work event, launched as a recurring special challenge, offered players competition and unique scenarios that regularly shifted the gameplay experience. Details of the Final Eggstra Work Event The last new Eggstra Work event for Splatoon 3’s Salmon Run mode is set to take place at Bonerattle Arena from February 13, 2026, at 4 p.m.

Players will compete in the final fresh scenario, which, as in previous events, determines the order and arrangement of waves.
Nintendo announced that after this session, all future Eggstra Work events will recycle past scenarios, closing the chapter on new content for this mode. Teams finishing among the top three during the final event will receive a yet-to-be-disclosed in-game prize.
This marks the end of regular seasonal content for Salmon Run, with any future updates to Splatoon 3 expected to focus solely on gameplay balancing and minor tweaks.
Nintendo has emphasized its appreciation for the dedication of Splatoon 3’s player base over the years and the continued enthusiasm surrounding Salmon Run events on the Switch eShop. Developer Commitment and Platform History Nintendo’s post-launch support of Splatoon 3 extends almost four years, offering a consistent stream of new features, seasonal tournaments, and additional content.
