SPLATOON RAIDERS SETS OUT FOR ADVENTURE ON 23rd JULY, EXCLUSIVELY ON NINTENDO SWITCH 2

Splatoon Raiders, an all-new single-player focused title in the Splatoon series, arrives exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2 on 23rd July. Check out the brand-new trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuGVbBo3INU.

Splatoon Raiders is a single-player focused action shooter for Splatoon veterans and newcomers alike. You take on the role of a mechanic embarking on a high-stakes adventure across the mysterious Spirhalite Islands.

Customise your appearance and your loadout and get ready to raid the islands for treasure. Using a variety of mechanical gadgets and ink-splattering weapons, splat scores of enemies called Salmonids, conquer raids and salvage loot on your journey through the one-of-a-kind Splatoon universe.

But you won’t be alone – you’ll be working with Frye, Shiver and Big Man, a trio of swashbuckling musicians who make up the splat-tacular band Deep Cut. In fact, one member of the band will raid alongside you as a powerful bot. And speaking of Deep Cut, brand-new amiibo featuring Frye, Shiver and Big Man sporting their new looks from Splatoon Raiders will also be available when the game launches 23rd July.

Additionally, the game supports the ability to join with up to three other players online*1 or via local wireless connection*2.

Pre-orders for Splatoon Raiders are available now on Nintendo eShop. The Deep Cut amiibo is available now for pre-purchase on My Nintendo Store.
