Splatoon Raiders – A Nintendo Switch 2 Exclusive
The Splatoon franchise, renowned for its innovative approach to third-person shooters, expands with Splatoon Raiders—a Switch 2 exclusive. This spin-off retains the signature ink-based combat while staying true to Splatoon's energetic, youthful spirit.
Nintendo's Squid Research Lab reveals players will embody a mechanic embarking on an adventure across the enigmatic Spirhalite Islands. Accompanying you is Deep Cut—the fan-favorite trio (Shiver, Frye, and Big Man) from Splatoon 3's Anarchy Splatcast, suggesting deeper narrative involvement.
The teaser hints at a mysterious vortex causing a helicopter crash, while showcasing makeshift tools and weapons—possibly introducing survival-crafting mechanics alongside traditional Splatoon action. While details remain sparse, these elements suggest fresh gameplay possibilities beyond the franchise's signature multiplayer battles.
Coming exclusively to Nintendo Switch 2 with no confirmed release date yet, stay tuned for future updates on Splatoon Raiders!
