Simone Splatoon Raiders is set to release on July 23, 2026, exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2, with a new trailer showcasing its single-player focused adventure in the Splatoon universe.
Set across the mysterious Spirali Islands, Splatoon Raiders shifts the series toward a narrative-driven structure, placing the focus on exploration and treasure hunting. Taking on the role of a technician, the journey unfolds across varied environments where familiar elements such as ink-based combat and traversal are reworked into a more progression-based format.
Combat and gameplay in Splatoon Raiders revolve around a mix of gadgets and customizable weapons, used to raid enemy bases and confront Salmonid threats. Along the way, support comes from Deep Cut, with characters like Muriél, Haya, and Ray assisting throughout the adventure, including moments where one companion joins directly in action. This dynamic introduces a different rhythm compared to the series’ competitive roots, blending solo progression with cooperative elements.
Beyond its single-player core, the game also includes optional multiplayer functionality, supporting cooperative play with up to four participants through both online and local wireless connections. Pre-orders are now live via the Nintendo eShop (BE, NL , US), with themed amiibo figures based on Deep Cut planned to launch alongside the game.
