Nintendo has opened preorders for Splatoon Raiders, a Switch 2-exclusive Splatoon spinoff set to launch on July 23, 2026. (nintendo.com) Nintendo’s U.S. store lists the digital edition at $49.99, with the game described as a single-player-focused adventure starring a mechanic exploring the Spirhalite Islands with Deep Cut. (nintendo.com) The same store page says the game also supports online play with up to three other players and local wireless multiplayer, and estimates a 20 gigabyte file size. (nintendo.com) Retail listings tracked by Nintendo Life show a $59.99 physical edition at major U.S. chains including Amazon, Best Buy, and Target, while the digital version is listed at $49.99. (nintendolife.com) Nintendo posted the new release-date trailer on April 21, 2026, after first announcing Splatoon Raiders in June 2025 as the series’ first spinoff game. (nintendo.com; nintendo.com) That makes Raiders one of Nintendo’s first major first-party preorder beats for Switch 2 in 2026, with a named release date, platform exclusivity, and a lower digital price than the boxed copy. (nintendo.com; nintendolife.com) Three matching amiibo figures tied to the game are also going up for preorder alongside it: Big Man, Frye, and Shiver in their Splatoon Raiders designs. Nintendo Life says each figure is listed at $24.99 in the U.S., and Nintendo’s Big Man store page shows the same July 23, 2026 release date as the game. (nintendolife.com; nintendo.com) Nintendo has not yet detailed what those amiibo will unlock in Splatoon Raiders. The Big Man product page says functionality will be announced later. (nintendo.com) For Splatoon, the shift is also a format change: Nintendo is selling Raiders as a solo-led adventure instead of the series’ usual multiplayer-first setup, even as it keeps optional co-op and local play in the package. (nintendo.com; nintendo.com) The preorder push gives Switch 2 owners a fixed July date, a $49.99 digital price, and a full Deep Cut merchandise set to reserve before launch.
