Nintendo has finally revealed more details on Splatoon Raiders, the next game in its popular shooting franchise. However, unlike its predecessors, which offer competitive multiplayer, this is single-player-focused. Nintendo Switch 2 players also won’t have to wait long to play since it’s out on July 23rd.
The story sees the player as a mechanic who explores the Spirhalite Islands, hunting for treasure. After setting your loadout with different weapons and gadgets, you’ll take on Salmonids, salvage supplies and more. Frye, Shiver and Big Man of Splatoon 3’s Deep Cut also help out, with one character using a bot to help out during raids.
Of course, you can also cooperate with up to three other players through online multiplayer or local wireless. Pre-orders are now live with the title retailing for $49.99 digitally, and amiibo fans can look forward to new figures of Deep Cut on launch day.
With Rhythm Heaven Groove and Splatoon Raiders receiving release dates, both for this Summer, it seems insider NateTheHate’s report about general Nintendo Direct in June is looking more likely. The month is almost up, but dare we hope for the alleged new Star Fox game to receive an announcement and potential release date? Stay tuned for updates in the meantime.
