It might seem like a lifetime ago, but it’s not even been two months since the shocking announcement of Splatoon Raiders. Nintendo shadow-dropped the announcement alongside the reveal of a big Splatoon 3 update, and since then, gamers have been itching for more information. In the reveal trailer (which you can see below), Deep Cut receives a treasure map that leads them to the Spirhalite Islands, and they end up crash-landing there. Once on the ground, they meet up with “The Mechanic,” and a new adventure begins.
Not much was known about the game, but apparently, a Malaysia-based retailer let loose some tidbits about the game, including when it might come to the Nintendo Switch 2…
Rumor: A retailer from Malaysia provided more info on Splatoon Raiders:- 2025 release- focus on adventure and exploration- more of a story element- New quest system- The Mechanic (player) is skilled in mechanical modificationgonintendo.com/contents/512…

Obviously, since this retailer is the embodiment of an “unofficial source,” we have to take it with a grain of salt. However, Splatoon Raiders was shown off in a rather unique way, and many are predicting a Nintendo Direct to FINALLY show more Switch 2 games soon, so it could be that we learn more about it then. Only time will tell!
