Splatoon Raiders Preorders

Nintendo has opened preorders for Splatoon Raiders, a Switch 2-exclusive spinoff set to launch on July 23, 2026. (nintendo.com) Nintendo’s store lists the game at $49.99 digitally, with a single-player-focused campaign built around a mechanic, Deep Cut, and the Spirhalite Islands. (nintendo.com) The same store page says players can also team up with up to three other people online or through local wireless, even though Nintendo is pitching Raiders primarily as a solo game. (nintendo.com) Retail listings show Nintendo is using its newer split pricing model here: $59.99 for a physical copy and $49.99 for digital. IGN reported the physical edition is a standard cartridge, not a Game-Key card. (ign.com) Three new amiibo figures — Frye, Shiver, and Big Man in their Raiders designs — are also up for preorder for July 23. Nintendo Life reported the figures are being sold individually in North America, while some other regions are also getting a set. (nintendolife.com) At $24.99 each, the three figures add up to about $75, which is more than either version of the game by itself. GameSpot said Nintendo has not yet detailed what the amiibo will unlock in Splatoon Raiders. (gamespot.com) The preorder push also clears up confusion around the release date. Nintendo’s official store and April 21 news post both list July 23, 2026, not the later summer dates that circulated in some early social posts and secondary reports. (nintendo.com) That makes Raiders one of Nintendo’s next Switch 2 exclusives to test whether Splatoon can sell beyond its usual competitive multiplayer audience. The company’s official description centers on treasure hunting, gadgets, Salmonid fights, and co-op support instead of the series’ usual turf-war format. (nintendo.com) For now, the immediate choice for buyers is simpler than the release-date chatter made it seem: preorder the $50 digital game, pay $60 for physical, or spend even more if the Deep Cut amiibo are part of the plan.
