Nintendo said *Splatoon Raiders* will launch on July 23, 2026, and only on Switch 2. (nintendo.com) The new trailer and Nintendo’s store listing describe it as a “single-player-focused” *Splatoon* game starring a customizable mechanic on the Spirhalite Islands with Deep Cut, the trio introduced in *Splatoon 3*. (nintendo.com) Nintendo’s official page says players will use ink weapons and mechanical gadgets, fight Salmonids, and search the islands for treasure. The company also says online features and multiplayer mode will require Nintendo Switch Online and additional systems or games. (nintendo.com) That marks a clear shift for the series, which has been built around team-based multiplayer shooters since the first *Splatoon* launched on Wii U in 2015. *Raiders* is Nintendo’s first *Splatoon* spin-off. (nintendo.com) Nintendo first announced *Splatoon Raiders* in June 2025 through its Nintendo Today app, then went quiet for months before this week’s release-date trailer. Game Informer said the new video is the first substantial update on the project since that reveal. (nintendo.com) (gameinformer.com) Nintendo’s U.S. store page lists a digital edition but does not show a price in the page text surfaced by search. Other outlets reported a $49.99 digital price and a $59.99 physical price in the United States, though Nintendo’s own store page was the clearest source for the July 23 date and platform. (ign.com) (nintendolife.com) The July release also adds another Nintendo-published game to the Switch 2 calendar as the company builds out the console’s first summer lineup. NME reported the date alongside new pre-order details and the fresh trailer. (nme.com) For now, the headline is simple: after a 10-month gap between reveal and full update, Nintendo has put *Splatoon Raiders* on the calendar for July 23. (gameinformer.com) (nintendo.com)
