It’s been nearly four years since Nintendo launched Splatoon 3, but fans of the series finally have a new game to look forward to–Splatoon Raiders is confirmed for a July 23 release. The Switch 2 exclusive is quite different from its predecessors, as it’s a single-player focused experience that sees you battling hordes of Salmonids as you search the mysterious Spirhalite Islands for treasure. A few friends can tag along for a cooperative experience, but no doubt it’s shaping up to be a truly different kind of Splatoon. It’ll launch exclusively for Switch 2, and preorders are now open ahead of its arrival. It’s available in a $60 physical edition and $50 digital version. There’s also some cool Amiibo arriving alongside the game–like most Amiibo, we’re expecting this to be popular, so check them out while you can.
Splatoon Raiders (Physical Edition)
$60 | Releases July 23
As mentioned above, Splatoon Raiders is launching with a $60 physical Edition on Switch 2. While there are no preorder bonuses or special editions, the physical version appears to include the full game data on the cartridge–which is also true of most other first-party Nintendo Switch 2 physical releases.
Splatoon Raiders (Digital Code)
$50 | Releases July 23
If you want to save a few bucks, the digital version of Splatoon Raiders is just $50. Of course, the tradeoff here is you won’t have a physical copy of the game, but otherwise, the digital version is identical to the physical. Digital preorders are available at Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, and the Nintendo eShop.
Along with the game itself, Nintendo also unveiled a trio of Splatoon Raiders Amiibo figures based on characters from this new entry in the Splatoon series. The three figures include Frye, Shiver, and Big Man, all of whom are part of the in-game musical group Deep Cut, which the player will join up with during Splatoon: Raiders’ single-player campaign. Nintendo has yet to reveal what sort of content these Amiibo will unlock when scanned into Splatoon Raiders. We’d expect them to get you some sort of consumable items or useful in-game gear, but nothing official has been announced. Expect to learn more in the coming weeks. Until then, the Splatoon: Raiders Amiibo line launches the same day as the game, July 23. Preorders are available for $25 apiece at Best Buy. Keep in mind that most of the existing Splatoon Amiibo are sold out (or listed with inflated prices), so we’re expecting the same to happen for these upcoming releases.
If you haven’t yet played Splatoon 3, it’s currently on sale for just $47 (was $60) at Amazon and Walmart. Our review gave it a 7/10, noting its fun single-player campaign and fun online multiplayer modes, though some online connectivity issues and lack of enemy variety held it back from greatness. Still, it’s a fun family-friendly romp, and it’s certainly worth checking out now that it’s priced under $50.
