Nintendo Confirms “Splatoon Raiders” Release Date for Switch 2 in 2026!

Splatoon Raiders Takes Aim at July 23rd Release on Nintendo Switch 2!

Alright, ink lovers and squid kids! Grab your paint guns and mechanical doodads because Nintendo just dropped the bomb we’ve all been waiting for. “Splatoon Raiders,” the much-anticipated single-player spin-off of the beloved Splatoon series, is set to splatter its way onto the Nintendo Switch 2 this summer on July 23, 2026. And yes, there are new Amiibo figures to hoard—err, collect!

Rolling With the Big Fish in Splatoon Raiders

The fourth installment in the vibrant, ink-slinging franchise that started back in 2015 is diving into new territory. This time around, you get to play as a mechanic navigating the treacherous Spirhalite Islands. Along for the ride are familiar faces—Frye, Shiver, and Big Man from Deep Cut. They’re not just there for their musical chops; they’re here to help you take down some seriously pesky Salmonids.

But don’t worry, you’re not alone in this splat-tastic adventure. Splatoon Raiders lets you team up with up to three other players online or through local wireless connections. Think of it as your own personal squid squad where you can customize your look and loadout to paint the town red—or blue—or neon green—whatever your ink of choice may be.

Amiibo Madness: Collect ‘Em All!

For those of you with shelves buckling under the weight of plastic collectibles, brace yourselves. New Amiibo figures featuring Frye, Shiver, and Big Man—in their freshest new looks from “Splatoon Raiders”—will drop alongside the game. Imagine the bragging rights you’ll have when these bad boys are sitting pretty next to your Switch 2.

Why Japan Loves Its Ink

If you’ve ever wondered why Japan goes nuts over Splatoon while sipping on their matcha lattes, look no further than its unique style and customization options. Inspired by Japanese fashion trends, these games are as much about looking cool as they are about splattering enemies with colorful ink.

Your Summer Just Got Inkier

So mark your calendars and start saving those coins! With “Splatoon Raiders” ready to paint our summer in vibrant hues come July 23rd, it looks like Nintendo is all set to make sure we have an ink-credible time on our Switch 2 consoles.

Keep an eye out for more updates right here on SapoBledor as we get closer to launch day. Until then, happy splatting!
