Splatoon Raiders date

Nintendo has set Splatoon Raiders for July 23, 2026, giving the Splatoon spin-off its first firm release date on Nintendo Switch 2. (nintendo.com) Nintendo’s store page says the game is already up for pre-order and lists a $49.99 price in the United States. The same page describes it as a single-player-focused action shooter. (nintendo.com) In Nintendo’s latest trailer post, players take the role of a mechanic exploring the Spirhalite Islands with Deep Cut, the three-member idol group introduced in Splatoon 3. Nintendo says players can customize the character, use gadgets and ink weapons, and fight Salmonids while searching for salvage and treasure. (nintendo.com) The store listing adds that one member of Deep Cut can accompany the player in a bot, and that the game also supports play with up to three other players online or through local wireless. Nintendo still labels the project as “mainly a single-player adventure.” (nintendo.com) The date fills a visible summer slot in Nintendo’s 2026 first-party lineup. Nintendo’s U.S. search listings also show Yoshi and the Mysterious Book for May 21, 2026 and Rhythm Heaven Groove for July 2, 2026, putting Splatoon Raiders three weeks later. (nintendo.com) That schedule lands a year after the Nintendo Switch 2 hardware launch. Nintendo said the console released on June 5, 2025 in the United States at a suggested retail price of $449.99. (nintendo.com) Splatoon Raiders also extends a series that had stayed centered on competitive shooters and co-op modes on Nintendo hardware. When Nintendo announced the project in 2025, it called it the first-ever Splatoon spin-off game and said it would be exclusive to Nintendo Switch 2. (nintendo.com) For Nintendo, the next marker is now straightforward: pre-orders are open, the trailer is live, and July 23, 2026 is when Splatoon gets its first stand-alone side adventure.
