Switch 2 ratings spotted
Two first‑party Switch 2 titles — Splatoon Raiders and Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave — have appeared in Europe’s ratings pipeline, a frequent early indicator that Nintendo announcements or release timing are nearing (nintendolife.com) (gonintendo.com). GoNintendo describes Splatoon Raiders as a single‑player Splatoon spin‑off now rated for Switch 2 and links rumors that place a summer release window for the project (gonintendo.com).
Two Nintendo Switch 2 exclusives, Splatoon Raiders and Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave, have picked up fresh European age ratings, a step that often appears shortly before new release details. (nintendolife.com) Nintendo Life reported on April 12 that Splatoon Raiders now shows a PEGI 7 rating on Nintendo’s European pages, while Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave has been updated from a provisional label to PEGI 12. (nintendolife.com) Nintendo’s own UK listings line up with that timing: Splatoon Raiders is still listed with a release date of “TBD,” and Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave is still scheduled only for 2026. (nintendo.com 1) (nintendo.com 2) A ratings update is not a launch announcement, but it is one of the last routine pieces of store metadata publishers usually need before marketing ramps up. Nintendo has not posted a new date for either game on its official product pages as of April 12, 2026. (nintendo.com 1) (nintendo.com 2) Splatoon Raiders has been especially quiet since Nintendo announced it on June 10, 2025 as the first Splatoon spin-off, with players taking the role of a mechanic exploring the Spirhalite Islands alongside Deep Cut. Nintendo said at the time that more information would be shared later. (nintendo.com) (splatoon.nintendo.com) Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave was announced on September 19, 2025, with Nintendo describing it as a new turn-based tactical role-playing game for Switch 2 set to launch in 2026. Nintendo’s current store text still offers only the tagline, “The Heroic Games have begun.” (nintendo.com 1) (nintendo.com 2) GoNintendo said on April 11 that rumors have pointed to a summer release window for Splatoon Raiders, but Nintendo has not confirmed that window on any official page. (gonintendo.com) (nintendo.com) For now, the clearest change is procedural: both games have moved deeper into Europe’s ratings pipeline while Nintendo’s public schedule still lists one for 2026 and the other as “TBD.” (nintendolife.com) (nintendo.com) (nintendo.com)
