Splatoon Raiders Announced as First Spinoff for Nintendo Switch 2
Okay, so here’s some exciting news straight from the Nintendo universe that’s making waves today— Splatoon Raiders has just been revealed as the first-ever spinoff of the Splatoon series, and it’s heading exclusively to the Nintendo Switch 2 . Yes, you heard that right! If you're a Splatoon fan or just love fresh and fast-paced Nintendo action, this is definitely something to be hyped about.
In today’s newly released trailer, Nintendo gave us a first look at Splatoon Raiders , a bold new direction for the franchise. This time, instead of the typical turf wars and ranked matches we’re used to, players will take on the role of a mechanic —yes, a mechanic!—embarking on a mysterious adventure through the Spirhalite Islands , a new location brimming with secrets. And you won’t be alone on this journey. You’ll be teaming up with none other than the iconic Deep Cut trio , which adds a lot of flavor and familiarity for long-time fans.

Now, while the release date hasn’t been announced yet, this new spin on the Splatoon universe feels like it could open up a completely different side to the world we thought we knew. Whether it’s exploration, puzzle-solving, or combat with some fresh twists, there’s no doubt that Splatoon Raiders is setting the stage for something big on the next-gen console.
But wait—there’s more for current Splatoon 3 players too. A massive Version 10.0.0 update is launching on June 12 for both the current Nintendo Switch and the new Switch 2. The highlight? The new Splatlands Collection . We're talking 30 new weapon kits from the Barazushi and Emberz brands, all with revamped designs and unique sub and special weapons. A real game-changer if you’re into customizing your loadout.
Also making a return is the classic Urchin Underpass from the original Wii U Splatoon. Nostalgia, anyone? This stage is getting added back into the rotation, and it’s going to be exciting to see how it plays out with updated visuals and the latest gameplay mechanics.
Another really interesting feature in this update is the introduction of Series Weapon Power , a new stat in Anarchy Battle (Series) that tracks how well you use each weapon. It’s designed to match you with others at your level with that specific weapon—basically helping you improve without throwing you into unfair matchups. This is perfect for experimenting with new weapons or refining your playstyle with your favorites.
To top it off, the update boosts visual fidelity and smoothness for those playing on the Nintendo Switch 2. So areas like Splatsville and Grand Festival Grounds will look even better than before. And yes, cross-play is supported between both systems—Switch and Switch 2—so nobody gets left behind.
So yeah, today is a big day for Splatoon fans. Between the mysterious promise of Splatoon Raiders and the substantial update for Splatoon 3 , it’s safe to say that the squid-kid action we all love is only just getting started. Keep an eye on the official channels, because it sounds like there’s a lot more ink to spill soon.
