Splatoon Raiders

Splatoon Raiders is an upcoming third-person shooter game developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch 2. It is the first spinoff of the Splatoon series and the fourth installment overall. The game is set to release on July 23, 2026.

Gameplay

Splatoon Raiders is a spinoff of the Splatoon series and is primarily single-player and story-focused, unlike the first mainline entries. Players choose to be either an Inkling or Octoling as their player character, who takes on the role of a mechanic. Accompanied by the members of Deep Cut, who appeared in Splatoon 3, they explore a region known as the Spirhalite Islands.

Alongside Raiders‘s single-player mode, it also features a cooperative mode that allows up to four players, either locally or online, to play alongside. In co-op mode, the game’s difficulty is adjusted depending on how many players are present.

Sviluppo

Splatoon Raiders was announced on the Nintendo Today! app on June 10, 2025, alongside a new update for Splatoon 3. On April 21, 2026, Nintendo released a trailer on Nintendo Today! and YouTube, revealing the release date of July 23, 2026.
