Nintendo launches Splatoon Raiders spin‑off for Switch 2
Nintendo announced the video‑game Splatoon Raiders, a spin‑off for the upcoming Switch 2 console. The game departs from the series’ traditional multiplayer battles and offers a single‑player and cooperative PvE experience that blends looter‑shooter mechanics with the franchise’s ink‑based movement.
Players explore the fictional Spirhalite Islands with the Mechanic, assisted by members of the Deep Cut band, completing missions that range from linear levels to open‑area combat while collecting crystals and battling Salmonid enemies such as Steel Eels and Stingers. Nintendo EPD developed the title, Nintendo will publish it, and the worldwide release is scheduled for 23 July 2026. Online co‑op supports up to four players.
