After almost a year, the next installment in the Splatoon franchise finally has a release date.
Splatoon Raiders is a single-player, story focused spin-off game. You play as a mechanic who crash landed on the Spirhalite Islands with the idol group from Splatoon 3, Deep Cut. Now you have to explore these islands while fighting Salmonids.
The gameplay looks to be a mix between the Salmon Run gamemode and the Side Order DLC for Splatoon 3. You will also be able to upgrade your weapons and make gadgets that give you different abilities as you play through the game.
Splatoon Raiders will release July 23, 2026 exclusively on the Switch 2. Also releasing that same day are three new Amiibo figures of Deep Cut in their new outfits.
