Splatoon 2 getting new mode called Salmon Run where you fight off new Chum enemies in waves. Collect power eggs from defeated enemies. Bigger enemies called Steelheads are bigger and tougher.

You can get special rewards for doing this mode. New amiibo coming as well, but still compatible with old amiibo. Game and amiibo launch June 21st.
