Splatoon 3 Unveils Transforming Golden Egg Bath Bombs

Highlights

  • Splatoon 3 introduces a charming product: bath bombs that morph into Smallfry toys, appealing to Salmon Run enthusiasts and fans of Agent 3.
  • The game emphasizes Salmonids, with expanded involvement and a storyline featuring the player's Smallfry. The bath bomb hints at potential in-game Golden Eggs hatching.
  • The future of Salmonids in Splatoon remains uncertain, with speculation about their role in potential future installments or the developers' direction to keep the series fresh.

Splatoon 3 has unveiled an endearing new product: Golden Egg bath bombs that transform into collectible Smallfry toys. This merchandise is expected to appeal to players who relish Salmon Run or have an affection for Agent 3's Smallfry.

Splatoon 3 has placed a greater emphasis on Salmonids and their influence on the game compared to Splatoon 2. In addition to transitioning from limited Salmon Run shifts to 24/7 access, the game has expanded the creatures' involvement. Salmonids invade the city in Big Run, and the player's Smallfry holds particular significance in the game's story mode. While the game doesn't feature Golden Eggs that hatch to reveal Smallfry, this merchandise provides a glimpse of what that experience could entail.

Recently, Splatoon 3 announced the launch of bath bombs resembling Golden Egg Power Eggs that dissolve to unveil a Smallfry figure. These products are set to be available for purchase on February 26, 2024, priced at 495 yen each, approximately $3.32 USD based on current currency conversions. Each bath bomb includes a colored ink stand to showcase the Smallfry figure that 'hatches' from the bath bomb. The Smallfry figures themselves vary, with each having a unique hairstyle or facial expression. Additionally, the bath bomb offers a relaxing experience with a pleasant chamomile scent.

The Future of Splatoon and Salmonids

While Splatoon 3's Smallfry plays a minimal role in the game's daily activities, mainly appearing around the town or in the story mode, many fans were immediately captivated by the fishy pet. It's unlikely that the game's upcoming Side Order DLC will feature the small Salmonid, as the revealed gameplay focuses solely on Pearl and Agent 8 from Splatoon 2. A recent teaser seemed to confirm this, depicting Splatoon 3's protagonist and Smallfry dozing off on a train before shifting to Agent 8.

Currently, it remains to be seen whether the emphasis on Salmonids will persist in the future of the Splatoon series. Initially, Splatoon 3 was promised two years of update support, and with ongoing rumors of the Nintendo Switch 2, fans are contemplating the future of the ink shooter franchise. Salmonids could play a more significant role in a potential Splatoon 4, or the developers might redirect their focus from the species entirely to invigorate the series.
