Splatoon Raiders Exclusive For Nintendo Switch 2

The Splatoon series, celebrated for its fresh approach to the third-person shooter genre, is back with a brand-new exclusive spin-off—Splatoon Raiders—launching on the Nintendo Switch 2. Much like the main games, Splatoon Raiders is anticipated to further refine its ink-focused combat while staying true to the youthful spirit that defines the franchise.

According to reports from Nintendo's "Squid Research Lab," players will step into the shoes of a mechanic and "embark on a grand adventure across the enigmatic Spirhalite Islands." The iconic Deep Cut trio from Splatoon 3’s Anarchy Splatcast—Shiver, Frye, and Big Man—will join you on this journey. They are set to play more central and dynamic roles in the storyline of Splatoon Raiders.

Moreover, the teaser presents a mysterious vortex that leads to the main crew's helicopter crash. It also previews the mechanic character utilizing an assortment of makeshift tools and weapons to navigate the environment. These clues point toward the possible introduction of single-player survival-crafting mechanics and action-adventure features, a shift from the fast-paced gameplay familiar to longtime fans. That said, very little has been officially confirmed about Splatoon Raiders at this time.

Splatoon Raiders is in development for Nintendo Switch 2. Although a specific release date has not been set, you can follow all the latest news and updates by checking our dedicated coverage below!
