Big Run is a new variant of the popular Salmon Run mode in Splatoon 3. The event will only be available for a limited time in Splatoon 3, meaning you will only be able to play this mode in a certain time frame before you have to wait for the next event. When does the next Big Run start in Splatoon 3?

When is the first Big Run event in Splatoon 3?

The first Big Run is part of Splatoon 3’s Chill Season 2022 and will begin on December 9 and last until December 11. Big Run is similar to Salmon Run mode, except players will face Salmonids on regular multiplayer maps rather than traditional Salmon Run maps; the Chill Season Big Run map will be Wahoo World. The story behind Big Run is that the Salmonids are invading the Greater Splatsville area, attacking heavily populated areas.
